The After School Program at Lincoln Square Neighborhood Center provides a safe, nurturing and educational environment. The program is designed to cultivate appreciation of the arts, build self-esteem, and broaden the children’s outlook on the world – and, in turn, on their own potential. The program runs from September through mid-June and serves kindergartners through sixth-graders.

The program operates during the school year, running from Monday through Friday, with hours from 2:30 PM to 6:00 PM. Additionally, it offers full-day programming on selected school holidays. The program provides escort services for students attending neighboring schools such as P.S. 199, P.S. 452, and the Special Music School. Parents also have the option to drop off their children.”

Activities Offered Include:

  • STEM and ART
  • Homework Help
  • Recreational Activities
  • Organized Sports
  • Project Based Learning (PBL)
  • Reading and writing enrichment

These programs support academic success in their daily activities, and offer circulating libraries to encourage reading. They also refer children to our one-one-one tutoring program at the Star Learning Center. These affordable programs are licensed by the New York City Department of Health.
