Afterschool

AFTERSCHOOL AT PS75

Program Description

The PS 75 Afterschool Program is a private nonprofit serving the needs of PS 75, The Emily Dickinson School, and holds a School Age Child Care license from the New York State Department of Health. We provide affordable and flexible on-site after school childcare and enrichment classes, and strive to spark children’s imagination and encourage socialization.

There are two program options: the Aftercare Program and the Enrichment Program.

AFTERCARE PROGRAM

Our Aftercare Program provides loosely structured, creative, recreational activities that allow your child to be a kid, to have fun, and to be a part of a club-like community with their classmates. Children are organized by grade (K-5) into small groups with two adult counselors per group who engage the children in all of their activities such as snack, supervised homework group time, sports & group games, arts & crafts, free play & relax time, playground time, board games, story time & individual reading, themed festivals and special club days.

ENRICHMENT PROGRAM

Our Enrichment Program provides PS 75 students with exposure to recreational, academic, and intellectual experiences that will expand and enhance their elementary school education onsite after school. We contract with reputable organizations and teachers from around the New York metropolitan area, some of whom are nationally recognized, and all of whom specialize in teaching children. Our Afterschool Program provides an Assistant Teacher for each class to ensure a small group with a low student-to-teacher ratio.

Please note that the Enrichment Program is different from the PS 75 Aftercare Program. If your child is already enrolled in Aftercare at PS 75, you need to register for Enrichment classes separately.
