After-school means something cool for the kids who come to Hirschler-Long Kids’ Place at the Weinstein JCC. For kids in grades K through 5, there’s always something interesting going on here!
Hirschler-Long Kids’ Place offers engaging indoor and outdoor programming that keeps children active, stimulated, and having fun!
Hirschler-Long Kids’ Place includes engaging programs, a daily snack, age-appropriate enrichment activities and quiet homework time.
When School Is Out: We offer full-day programming on School’s Out days, including Winter and Spring breaks.
When School is In:
We provide transportation from over 18 schools across RPS, HCPS, and local private schools. Please reach out to confirm availability for your child’s school.
We do offer pick-up services from some local private schools, but availability depends on our routes and driver capacity. If your child attends a private school and you’d like to inquire about pick-up options, please reach out to Lindsay Faucette at [email protected].
Kid’s Place will run from August 18, 2026 to May 27, 2027. Please note that program will be closed on the following dates:
We offer an inclusive afterschool program that supports children with various needs. If your child receives any outside support (such as OT, PT, Speech, Educational, Medical, ABA, or Mental Health services), they may be eligible for a customized support strategy.
When completing the Hirschler-Long Kids’ Place application, please let us know if your child is receiving any support services. If you select “yes,” we’ll reach out to discuss your child’s specific needs, determine eligibility, and create a plan to ensure their success in our program.
Please note that failing to disclose this information could impact your child’s enrollment status.
