Afterschool Programs

City-run afterschool programs provide supervised care and enrichment during the school year.

Sign your child up for afterschool programs that provide supervised care during the school year.

Programs are for elementary-age children and offer time to play, create, and connect with others after school. Activities may include games, arts, outdoor play, and group time, with some programs offering performing arts or therapeutic recreation.

Programs change each term. Fees vary and financial help is available for eligible residents.

Use the City’s online recreation portal to view schedules, locations, and fees. Create an account before registration opens.
