After School Program
The Y-COP After School Program is licensed by the NYS Office of Children and Family Services (OCFS) and the Childcare Council of Westchester. We provide homework assistance, a hot meal, recreation, cultural awareness, and social skill development for students ages 5 to 13. We operate from 3:00 to 6:30 pm during the school year.
The After School Program, and all other Y-COP programs, integrates academic enrichment, recreation, social skill development, and cultural awareness to achieve diversity and inclusion. Children complete their homework and have a hot, nutritious meal giving working parents two fewer things to worry about when they pick up their children and go home. We offer interactive discussions led by professionals in various fields, including education, arts, law enforcement, the military, and more.
