2024-2025 West Side Kids After-School Program
West Side Kids After-School Program is open to children enrolled in Buffalo Public and Buffalo charter schools in kindergarten through sixth grade. Our hours of operation are 2:30-6 p.m., Monday through Friday.
About the program
We follow Buffalo Public Schools’ calendar. When BPS is closed for a holiday or a weather event or cancels after-school activities, West Side Kids is cancelled.
Our program is licensed by the New York State Office of Children and Family Services. Each day that your child attends, they will receive a snack/meal, academic support, physical fitness, and creative enrichment.
We look forward to helping your child learn, explore, and build friendships during the school year.
