    Objetivos

    Al finalizar el capítulo podrás:

    Durante los años de edad escolar (jardín de infantes a octavo grado), los niños pueden ser atendidos durante los horarios fuera de la escuela en una variedad de programas para niños en edad escolar. El enfoque, la filosofía, el personal y la ubicación de esos programas variarán enormemente. Este capítulo discutirá brevemente información que puede usarse para crear un plan de estudios de alta calidad para niños en programas de edad escolar.

    Pero antes de llegar a eso, veamos cómo son los niños en edad escolar.
