KATS, you are probably wondering what this stands for. Well, it stands for Kids Are Totally Super.
KATS is a program that the Brooklyn City School District started in 1997. It is provided for students in grades K-5 who need supervision while their parents work before and after school hours.
This program is offered five days a week. For morning hours, three days a week is $50 and four-to-five days is $70.
This price differs during the evening with three days a week at $100 and four-to-five days at $140. There are discounts offered for those who have more than one child and are enrolled full-time in this program.
You may be wondering why KATS is the best option for your children before and after school. The benefits of the KATS program include daily snacks, certified instructors, homework help, cooking classes, and fun physical activities.
“I love playing Tic-Tac-Toe with my friends and going outside to play when it is warm,” said Jojo Horvath (first grade student at Brooklyn School).
Linda Ethridge (KATS Coordinator) echoed the following: “KATS is a safe environment for before and after school care where children can socialize with their friends and have trained instructors who know the curriculum and can help them with their homework.”
KATS is an amazing program that makes sure all children feel comfortable and safe while their parents are at work.
