Bright Futures Arizona OST Grant Program

The Bright Futures AZ Out-of-School Time Grant Program (Grant) supports Out-of-School Time
(OST) child care for children who are at least five (5) and not older than twelve (12) years of age
and who require child care either when children are out-of-school or during periods of time when
school instruction is not being conducted. The Grant, funded by provisions in Senate Bill 1743
through the Arizona Department of Economic Security (ADES), provides funding per site to
increase the number of eligible youth with access to OST child care, increase access to and the
affordability of child care for youth and their families, and reduce the cost of child care to
participating families by at least two-thirds (2⁄3). The Out-of-School Time Grant Program is
administered by the Arizona Center for Afterschool Excellence (AzCASE) and is available to both
licensed and unlicensed OST programs.
