2024 – 2025
PS 130 offers a range of after-school programs for 3-K through 5th grade, including arts, music, games, and more. We organize the programs into two categories: On Site and Off Site.
On Site programs take place at the school. Students are escorted to after-school programs from their class dismissal and picked up by parents/caregivers from the school. Off Site programs take place at a location other than the school in the surrounding neighborhoods. Several of the off site programs offer pick up at PS130, using an employee of the program to pick students up from dismissal and safely escort them to the program location. Parents and care-givers will pick children up at that location at the end of the program’s day.
For questions, please see our Afterschool FAQ.
Daily On-site Programs
These programs offer up to five-days-a-week after-school care. See our FAQ.
