This classic report clarifies the cost of quality out-of-school time programs, based on data from 111 quality programs in six cities. It provides the mean and range for hourly and daily cost per slot, with an analysis of factors that bring differences to cost. The full report can be found at: https://www.wallacefoundation.org/knowledge-center/pages/the-cost-of-quality-of-out-of-school-time-programs.aspx. While the data was collected more than 10 years ago, a companion online cost-of-quality calculator, which was updated in 2015, is also available in the NCASE library at: https://childcareta.acf.hhs.gov/ncase-resource-library/cost-quality-out-school-time-cost-calculator
