About
We strive to provide PS 372 families with a fun, inclusive and affordable afterschool program that empowers and supports our children’s growing bodies and minds by providing thoughtful and engaged leadership that encourages play and friendship.
The Stay & Play! Afterschool Program is available to all students who attend The Children’s School at the 512 Carroll Street site (Grades PreK – 5). Stay & Play! separates students into groups by grade (PreK & K, 1st-2nd, 3rd-5th).
Stay & Play! runs every school day (not including half days) from 3:00 pm to 6:00 pm. The first day of Session II will be Thursday, January 2nd. You are able to enroll and attend Stay & Play! for as many days (1-5 days) a week as you would like. Drop-ins are welcome, please see the FAQ page for more information.

Enrichment
Enrichment programs will be offered in conjunction with the After School Program. Students will be able to choose different activities each day that may include: science, art, dance, music writing, games, sports, crafts and more! Class info for Winter 2025 is here. You will need to select your class at the time of registration. After you have signed up for the after school program, you can select an enrichment option. The costs of enrichments varies depending on the class. Please note: there will be capacity limits for enrichment classes, which run from January 6th to April 11th.
Programming
Students in 1st-5th Grade have an hour of homework time and can choose between 1 of 3 activities. Those activities include sports like soccer and football, camp style games like obstacle courses, and our rec room where students can read, play board games or make art.
Our Pre-K and Kindergarten early childhood model is styled after a group play-date. This program encourages play and friendship with all. Children eat a snack from 3-3:30 pm, play outside, play in an early education classroom, enjoy a group book reading, and/or make a craft. As Early Childhood students do not have homework, there is no homework time – just Play! Play! Play!
