About this event
After School Clubhouse is a warm, nurturing environment with high-quality care, where children from Pre-K to Grade 5 can enjoy creative play, art, a snack, and dedicated time for homework and reading. The Clubhouse is organized into small groups, allowing kids to play and socialize with peers of their own age. Children get to enjoy our beautiful classrooms and even explore our rooftop playground for some physical activity. If your child is also registered for JCC after-school classes, our counselors will escort them to and from their programs around the building.
The program runs from Monday to Thursday, from 2:30 to 5:30 pm, from September to June. This option does not include school pickup. Children can be dropped off at the JCC beginning at 2:30 pm.
