At P.S. 207 OST we realize that " it takes a village to raise a child". As part of that village (community) that has daily contact with children, we strive to make a positive and lasting impact on each child.

Our program provides each participant with a healthy, nutritious meal every day upon arrival. We also have one complete hour of homework assistance during which time the children are divided into groups by grade. Each day after eating and doing homework, our children take part in an enrichment activity. We offer many activities such as arts & crafts, organized sports, character ed, geography, science, junior achievment, TADA!, music & movement, math-a-thon, kids lit and chess.

Arts& Crafts: The children create, design, color, and draw.

Organized Sports: The children play basketball, baseball, and various games such as steal the bacon, and relay race.

Character Ed: Grade 4&5 students learn through games and role play about peer pressure, etiquette, good character, kindness, and respect.

Geography: Children go on an education adventure around the country and the globe. They learn fun facts and information about the United States, other countries, and continents.

Science: The students learn about the environment, animals, and nature.
