"To the delight of working parents across the city, New York City schools will add 75 new after-school programs across the five boroughs next fall. The initiative aims to help ease the pressure on working families. The new programs will add 10,000 new seats to after-school programs in the 75 schools, as well as 11 community centers. Mayor Adams made the announcement on Tuesday."
"It followed his announcement last April, which pledged to add 40 new after-school sites in September 2025. Now, 75 more will be added in Fall 2026. The short-term goal is to add 20,000 seats by April 2028, and the long-term goal is to have universal after-school programs for all children in every New York City school, from Kindergarten through eighth grade."
