Prospect Park Future Scholars Before Care / After Care Program 2025-2026
First Day of AM/PM Care:  September 5, 2025; Last Day of AM/PM Care: June 22,2026 (Subject to Change)

The Prospect Park Future Scholars Before & After Care Program is happy to announce that we are now accepting applications for pre-K3, pre-K4 through 8th Grade for the 2025–2026 school year at Prospect Park Elementary School (94 Brown Avenue).

Children are supervised by site managers who are highly qualified teachers, aides, and high school/college counselors.

The Future Scholars Program will offer homework/tutor time, sports/physical education time, and overall student engagement. The Borough anticipates arranging daily activities which will include assistance with homework, arts and crafts, sports (when the weather permits to go outside), board games, as well as computer time. The Borough also hopes to offer research-based programs including SMART Moves (a drug, alcohol, and peer pressure resistance program) and Power Hour (a targeted homework supplement program that will build on current learning experiences) or similar types of programs.
