Why it matters

The pilot gives participating families a free evening child-care option through city recreation centers, though space is limited.

Who is affected

Children ages 6–13, parents and caregivers, recreation-center staff, and participating communities.

What happens next

Families must register in advance for the August 16 event; participation and future expansion should be evaluated afterward.
