iGrow Summer Learning Lab in Full Swing

More time spent in the outdoors

iGrow Summer Learning Lab students enjoyed a Nature Scavenger Hunt around the grounds of the Neighborhood House.

Critical staff training and safety precautions have paved the way for a fun summer.

Project MOST adheres to Covid-19 guidelines set by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the New York State Department of Health. Our safety procedures include daily temperature and blood oxygen level readings, screening questions for children and family members, small groups comprised of 10 children and 2 staff members, enhanced cleaning and disinfection, and use of the outdoors.

Registration is Open for Fall

We are working closely with our local school districts in preparation of a safe entrance into the new school year.

Registration for After School now open

Registration for our SACC-licensed weekday after school program for students in pre-Kindergarten through Grade 8 is now open. Project MOST programs adhere to Covid-19 Guidelines set by the CDC and NYS DOH.

Taking the Right Precautions

Tens of thousands of children have been in the care of the YMCA and New York City's Department of Education since March, and both tell NPR they have no reports of coronavirus clusters or outbreaks. Beating the odds has been correlated to the preventative measures they had set in place with the CDC, including daily temperature checks and symptom screenings, masked staff members, and limited group sizes. Since reopening on June 29, we have incorporated all of these protective measures to create both a safe and fun learning environment.

Support our Student Scholarship Fund

Your contribution to our student scholarship fund allows us to partially or fully subsidize tuition for families in need of financial assistance. $1,800 sponsors one student attending our After School program, covering all programs costs for the entire school year. We appreciate any amount you are able to give.
