Our afterschool program serves children between the ages of 5 - 11 years old, from kindergarten through fifth grade. The families we serve are low income, working parents or extended family households, and many are new immigrants. The majority of our children come from PS 2, a Title I school. We offer English (literacy) or STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) twice a week. These project-based activities provide opportunities for children to improve their listening, speaking, and academic skills while encouraging critical thinking, creativity, and leadership skills. Once a week, children will participate in a performing or creative arts activity which includes arts and crafts, music, dance or theater, physical and health education.
