Afterschool

What is Monitor Explorers?

Monitor Explorers is a collection of on-site afterschool programs run by the PS110 PTA in partnership with a variety of well-known local community organizations.

Programs and Activities: We have a range of enrichments including: Art, Music, STEM, Language, and Sports. See our Schedule and detailed description of our Programs. Our programs typically include snack time, outdoor time, and 60-75 minutes of enrichment activities.
Session Dates: The program runs most days when school is in session, excluding early dismissal days. The Fall 2026 term runs from Monday September 14 to Friday January 29. The Spring 2027 term runs from Monday February 1 to Friday June 25.
Session Times: The program runs from 2:30PM to either 5:00PM or 5:30PM Monday through Thursday, and from 2:30PM to 4:30PM on Fridays.

What is New This Year?

This year, we are offering an in-house lower-cost option, Monitor Club House, Tuesdays-Fridays, which will include outdoor time, homework help, arts & crafts, and games.

In addition to many of our beloved programs returning, we are introducing several new enrichments, including:

- Improv with Just Kidding!
- Dance with WR Arts
- Ukulele with Williamsburg School of Music
- French Comic Book Club with Fun in French
- Model building with KidzArchitects

How to Register?

The PTA manages registration for most of our programs via our Zeffy registration platform. A few programs are managed directly by our partner providers. Registration links are available at the relevant program page.

Installment Plan: For PTA registered programs, you have the option to pay in four equal installments.

1. The first installment is paid, via Zeffy, at the time of registration. This secures your spot in the program. Use the discount code "INSTALLMENT" to pay the first 25% of the program's full cost.
2. Prior to the start of the program, you will receive an invoice via Parent Square. Accepting that invoice commits you to three additional payments, which will be charged on the first day of the month (October, November, and December, for the Fall term; and March, April, and May, for the Spring term).
3. A 3.5% electronic service fee will be applied to the payments on Parent Square. (Payment in Full via Zeffy incurs no additional cost.)
4. Please have your child's OSIS number handy if you have one. (Students who are joining the school in the Fall may not have yet been assigned their OSIS number.)

Scholarships: The PTA offers partial scholarships for after-school programs. If you are interested, first secure your spot by registering via Zeffy and paying the first installment. Then submit your request via this form. Scholarships will be awarded at the start of the term.

Policies and Guidelines: Please carefully read our Policies and Guidelines.

Do I Have Other Options?

Plenty. In addition to the Monitor Explorers, there are two other on-site programs at PS 110:

COMPASS: A free after-school program managed by the City of New York.
WR Arts: A daily on-site arts program exclusively for Pre-K students. [Note - while WR Arts offers programs for grades K-5 as part of Monitor Explorers, its PreK program is run separately.]

Additionally, several off-site after-school programs offer pick-up from PS 110. (See here.) If you're interested in these, please reach out to the providers directly.
