It's that time of year again!
NYC Parks' (much coveted) *free* after-school program signups have begun! Since most ongoing after-school programs cost anywhere between hundreds and thousands of dollars, we thought you might want a quick reminder.
Every year, NYC Parks offers after-school classes (Mon–Fri 3–6pm) for kids ages 6–13, which includes supervised computer use, a healthy snack, academic support, sports and arts programming and even fun field trips around the city. Parents or guardians must visit the location of their choice with completed paperwork (application, program agreement, photo release and updated medical form) to sign children up for the program, and the program is first come, first served. All program forms and requirements, as well as available locations in each borough, can be found here.
Registration for NYC Parks After-School Program is currently underway, and the first day of programming will begin on September 16. Don't miss out!
