From arts to literacy, from STEM to Social Emotional Learning, we create environments where children can explore their interests and begin pursuing their dreams. Our after-school programs engage children to support every aspect of their development while building effective partnerships with parents, caregivers, and school leaders.  

Our after-school programs engage more than 3,000 children in grades K – 8 throughout Lower Manhattan and Brooklyn every year.  

All after-school services are provided free of charge, and our multicultural teams speak English and Spanish. 

We are in session on weekday afternoons from 3:00 PM to 6:00 PM. During school holidays, programs are open from 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM, ensuring that our students have access to enriching recreational and educational activities even when school is not in session.  

 Engaging each child’s strengths, our programs foster social, emotional, physical, ethical, and cognitive development through creative, project-based learning. Each of our after-school programs emphasizes literacy and education, providing homework help, tutoring, and an environment where reading and writing become tools for exploration.
