Learning Lab's after school enrichment program serves children in grades K through five. The program includes snack, homework help with experienced staff members to support students, and an enrichment activity. Students participating in our after school enrichment program will not only receive academic support, but will also be challenged to think creatively and to solve problems through carefully planned enrichment activities. In addition, students will develop leadership skills, social skills, and the ability to work as part of a team. Student to staff ratio is kept small in order to ensure that students receive sufficient attention and support.

After School Enrichment Program Dates

Our after school enrichment program starts on the first day of school and operates Monday through Friday throughout the school year. We follow the NYC DOE calendar and do not hold our after school enrichment program during days when students are not in attendance. Our after school enrichment program also does not operate on half days for parent teacher conferences. Instead, we offer separate mini camps during most public school holidays and half days.

To begin the registration process, please fill out our after school registration form using this link: www.learninglabny.com/after-school-registration-2024.

The deposit will be applied to your invoice for the first semester. An invoice for the deposit will be sent to you after the after school registration form is completed. Once payment is received, your child's spot will be reserved for the upcoming school year.
