Abstract	As federal and state policymakers and many education researchers and experts suggest, expanding the learning day for students makes sense. Given the demographic trends--women increasingly entering the workforce and low-income families working multiple jobs--children and youth need supervision and opportunities to learn in the hours between 3:00 and 6:00 p.m. Although research acknowledges the need for and the benefits of learning opportunities during the afternoon hours, the debate within education circles remains as to what constitutes the appropriate use of that time. This article offers a reflection on how LA's BEST built its values-based program-delivery model to support positive youth development. (Contains 20 notes.) (ERIC).
