PS 48 (Bronx)

« Back to Centers

Located in the Hunts Point section of the Bronx, P.S. 48 is a NYC OST site. In addition to being open five days a week P.S. 48 is open 20 additional days typically on school holidays, giving the children of P.S.48 and Hunts Point “a place to go.” Operating from within the confines of a New York City Public School P.S 48 serves participants from 1st to 5th grade offering an array of programs. The children participate in Homework assistance, Arts and Crafts, Low Organizational games, sports, Step and Dance.

By engaging elementary school-aged children, P.S. 48 introduces activities and services that provide the skill sets and knowledge base needed to succeed in school and acclimate themselves to the values of mainstream society. The PAL staff of P.S.48 is attuned to the needs of the families in the Hunts Point community, as well as the needs of the students, parents and school faculty who directly access their services. Programs and activities are structured based on those needs. The P.S. 48 Center targets youth who are energetic, creative, and eager to learn, but living in households that do not have the means to obtain these activities. Many area children have had limited engagement in arts and cultural activities. Children participating in P.S. 48 Afterschool program will leave P.S. 48 with a sense of accomplishment and a better sense of the Arts and Cultural Activities.
