Drop-In

Students may drop in to an after school class on any given day if needed. Drop in is available by calling 212-712-6256 or emailing afterschool-ec@ecfs.org on the morning of the day you want your child to participate. Please include your child’s name, who will be picking up your child, and contact information for that person.

Please also email your classroom teacher and Bryanna Parker (bparker@ecfs.org) and let them know that your child will be staying after school.

  • Students in grades 2–5 may join "The HUB," a space where they can work on homework or do a quiet activity ($25).
