After School Program

After School Program

The Poughkeepsie Day School After School Program (the “After”) is available for children in preK through grade 6, and is open to the public. The After runs from 3:15 – 5:30 pm on full school days. Led by Spanish Teacher Christian Enrique Sauer, students attending the program enjoy a dynamic range of activities aimed at fostering creativity, critical thinking, and social interaction in a bilingual, art-focused setting. Time and space are provided for older children to do homework after they have had a chance to unwind. Children should bring a nutritious snack from home to enjoy during After. They can look forward to baking projects, rainy day movies in the theater, special event-themed activities scheduled throughout the year, and more. Sign up below!
