About the PS 166 Afterschool Program

The Enrichment Club is a program of the PS 166 PTA working under Friends of PS 166, Inc., which is a non-profit corporation organized by PS166 parents. All programs are for the purpose of extending the school day with safe classes and programs.

Tanya Wills is the full time paid program director. She manages the day-to-day activities, finances, and staff.

There is a part time paid assistant director and this person will be available on site from 2:00 - 6:00PM. This person assists with the day-to-day management of the program.

The PS 166 Afterschool Program was founded by Monica M. Benjamin (a parent at the school).

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is the fall enrichment schedule not ready until September?

Our program is still very young and does not yet have enough returning staff to allow us to create a schedule in June. We do have several great teachers who return each year, but it is not enough to fill a trimester of courses for all grades and interests.

We are also currently unable to confirm available space in the school until early September because we share space with another afterschool program. The afterschool committee is working to get set space designated to the Enrichment Club, so we can confirm teachers earlier, and therefore begin registration earlier. In order to accomodate all families, the Enrichment Club offers child care beginning the first day of school, providing homework help, structured and free play. This will be available 5 days a week until 6pm.
