SITE ADDRESS ** Village Kids Afterschool operates inside the Greenwich House building, located at 27 Barrow Street.
Health & Safety The afterschool program follows CDC guidelines and recommendations regarding enhanced hygiene and ventilation.
What should my child bring to Afterschool? • Water bottle and afternoon snack [please pack nutritious, nut-free snacks and avoid sugary foods].
• Children should wear comfortable fitness-friendly clothes and comfortable closed-toe shoes [preferably sneakers]. • Change of clothes is recommended for students in PreK and Kindergarten.
How does my child transition to Afterschool? At the end of the school day, children who are enrolled in our program are dismissed directly to the Village Kids Afterschool staff. VERY IMPORTANT • Please make sure your child’s teacher knows their afterschool schedule. School teachers cannot dismiss children unless they have express authorization from the family.
Do you offer Walk-Over services? Free walk-over from PS 3 is available every day. If your child attends a different school please email our office before you register.
What will my child be doing in Afterschool? Families are asked to choose one Specialty class for each Weekday selected during registration. Some specialty classes start at 3pm, others start at 4pm depending on spaces available each weekday. In addition to their chosen class, children will have snack time, homework, recreational sports and games, and free play.
