AFTER SCHOOL CLUB AT THE ART FARM
We are so excited to continue our NEW afterschool programming at The Art Farm NYC! This program is fantastic for grades Pre-k through 5th Grade. The Art Farm NYC Afterschool Program is a unique experience unlike any other after-school program you will find in New York City. Children ages 4 – 10 will get to interact with our live animals every day in our petting zoo, and either participate in arts and crafts, cooking in our kitchen, or continue to learn about our animal collection!
Every day our program will include snack time (snacks can be provided from home or The Art Farm will provide), outdoor play at Asphalt Green PlayGround or indoor games weather dependent. All of our club members will get a chance to go to our petting zoo every day and also have quiet time to work on homework or participate in storytime and reading. While the listed activities above happen daily in the program, please see the focus activity of each day when you register.
