40 New After-School Sites Coming to NYC Next Month: Is Your Child’s School on the List?
Scroll down to see if your child’s school made the list!
If you’re a parent in New York City, you’ve more than likely felt the crunch of finding quality after-school care that is affordable. Finally, there may be some good news on the horizon if your child’s school is one of the lucky ones to have been selected for additional funding. Starting this September, 40 new after-school sites will be available in New York City public schools, adding 5,000 new spots for K-5 students across the city.
These new programs are intended to make after-school care easier, especially in neighborhoods that really need it the most. The initiative, backed by a $21-million investment, is the first step toward Mayor Eric Adams’ goal of offering universal after-school programs to all NYC public school students in the next few years. The plan is to add 20,000 more spots over the next three years.

“Every parent knows that learning doesn’t just take place in the classroom, but, for too long, too many families did not have access to affordable child care and during after-school hours,” said Mayor Adams. “But building a safer, more affordable city starts with creating a safe space for our young New Yorkers to learn.”
“Less than three months after we announced our ambitious goal of delivering universal after-school to families with 20,000 additional seats, we are delivering on that promise with our first batch of 5,000 new after-school seats for the upcoming school year that starts in just a matter of weeks,” he continued.
Universal after-school will make life easier for a total of 169,000 students and their parents this fall, who will no longer have to choose between work and taking care of their kids, or worse yet, using an iPad as a babysitter. Working-class New Yorkers deserve nothing less than a hard-working administration that puts their needs first.”
Part of a Larger NYC School Reform
The Adams administration recently introduced a brand-new pilot program called 2-K, the first of its kind, which aims to make child care free for low-income families with 2-year-olds. The city’s putting $10 million into the program, with plans to create hundreds of new child care spots through the Department of Education, focusing on low-income families and neighborhoods that need it most. The new budget adds an extra $70 million toward special education services.
As Adams put it, “Every day, we are working to make New York City the best place to raise a family, and it is exactly by delivering promises like universal after-school that will help us get there.”
