Fabulous After School Enrichment Program at North Side School Bayside & Whitestone!!!

Fabulous After School Enrichment Program at North Side School Bayside & Whitestone!!! Find Out Why After School Enrichment is SO Necessary!

The day doesn’t end when the bell rings and for many parents, working or not, picking up your kids at the end of the school day isn’t always an option. So the question remains, what do you do with your children from 2:45 until the end of your day that’s more than just a babysitter? For many parents, after school enrichment programs have become the answer to their question.

Whether you are a family of working parents or simply interested in providing additional activity for your child, enrichment programs provide a fun and safe environment in which your child can learn and grow in addition to their regular school day. After school enrichment programs offer your child an opportunity to socialize with their peers while engaging in activities that may stretch beyond their day-to-day school curriculum. Here at North Side School, the enrichment program is in full swing. With activities ranging from various sports, Yoga, Martial Arts, Science and Cooking, Violin taught by a Suzuki trained instructor as well as Academic Enrichment, your child gets the opportunity to explore and enjoy a broad variety of activities. Why is this so vital to your child’s early education? Aside from providing parents with the peace of mind that their child is being well cared for, After School Enrichment allows kids to broaden their horizons with activities they may not have gravitated toward regularly. I recall a parent who wasn’t convinced that her son would be interested in learning the violin. After a few months of After School Enrichment, he asked his mother for a violin for his 5th birthday. That same child, who started off his preschool career as painfully shy, got up in front of his peers and their families and performed on the violin at his graduation. Had he not had the incredible opportunity to get to experience learning violin, he never would have discovered his affinity for the instrument.

After School Enrichment allows children to learn and grow in ways that extend past the regular school day and become well-rounded individuals. Want to see for yourself? Call 718-229-5050 prompt 5 for additional information on North Side School’s amazing enrichment program.
