We are a non-profit community based organization providing enrichment and recreational programs. In addition to afterschool services, we offer Day Camp during half-days, holidays and summer break, and Chess and Tennis tournaments on select weekends.<\/span><\/h5>\n
PROGRAMMING PHILOSOPHY<\/span>
\n Out-of-school programs offer an extraordinary opportunity to enhance and supplement the student\u2019s day-time experience. By tapping into the vast pool of talent New York City has to offer, and engaging multiple specialists and organizations, we are able to provide a large variety of classes in different subject areas, which all children are encouraged to explore.<\/span><\/h5>\n
OPERATIONS TEAM<\/span>
\n No program thrives without an excellent team! We are proud of the talented educators who work with our children everyday. Supervisors review daily procedures periodically to ensure the highest standards are being met and programs run smoothly. Coaches and teaching artists are passionate about their specialty and share our educational goals. \u00a0All team members are expected to be excellent role models and develop meaningful relationships with the children in our care.<\/span><\/h5>\n
