Long Island City
After-School Program
The perfect program for busy kids, delivered after school Monday - Friday.
Our After School Program is a great solution for post academics, giving kids time away from home, free play, social interaction and coach-led activities while giving parents a few hours.
We offer pick-up at local Long Island City, NY, schools, including Hunters Point Elementary (PS 384), The Robert F. Wagner, Jr. School (PS 78).
After school, your kids spend the next few hours having a blast. After School is time for free play and snacks, followed by coach-led activities that get your kiddo moving and socializing with others.
Independent Play - kids often participate in Art, Gardening, Fort Building, Rope Swinging, and a Survey of Sports, to name a few!
Coach-led Activities - students focus on various activities that reinforce our Gantry Kids & Teen values. These After School activities change with the semester, so your child will always have something exciting to look forward to.
Monday: Survey of Sports
Tuesday: Fitness Class
Wednesday: Community/Wellness Day

Friday: Survey of Sports
Our After School Prescription
Physical Activity, Outdoor Time, Unstructured Play & Wellness are the prescription to Building Tomorrow's Leaders Today!
We take a holistic view in helping your child grow!
Physical Activity: organized games and team activities teach kids communication, leadership, and resilience in an organic setting
Outdoor Time: humans are grounded in nature. Being outside helps regulate and restore kids' nervous systems, reset circadian rhythms, ward off illness and building immunity no matter the weather
Unstructured Play: adult free, peer only play give kids autonomy, choice, and down time. In a natural environment, kids learn effective communication, conflict resolution, and their like and dislikes. It's also essential for building self-esteem
Wellness: global, community, and individual wellness is our focus. Kids have an opportunity to give back to the world, understand their impact and that humanity extends beyound their own self. We take care of ourselves, our neighborhood, and the planet
