Rec Place Afterschool, Inc. is a private, non-profit afterschool program that is located in the Lower Falls Community Center. The program operates after regular school hours for children in grades K-5. We offer a safe, warm, caring environment for children through a wide range of programming. The program is financed by parent-paid tuition. Lower Falls residents are given priority for any available space after enrollment of returning students has been completed. We will do our best to find an interpreter for parents who are not able to speak English. The center has three classrooms: an art room, a games room, and a music/drama room. There is a full gym, a kitchen, a large field, tennis and basketball courts, a playground, and an ice skating rink in the winter. Enrollment is limited in order to ensure individual attention and child-initiated programming. A variety of trips are offered, as well as on-site special programs. The purpose of this program is to provide excellent, affordable after-school care for kindergarten through fifth-graders in a “home away from home” atmosphere.
