NJCDC proudly operates after school programs in Paterson Schools 5 and 2 funded by New Jersey After 3. These programs provide students with a safe and secure facility, organized activities, a snack and tutoring as well as homework help from staff that includes certified teachers.

Students receive comprehensive after-school programming that is aligned with the school day to complement, but not duplicate, learning. Each student is exposed to the arts, culture, literacy, fitness, math, science, character development and community service.

Our staff works diligently to make this program one where students look forward to coming back and participating day after day. To encourage this atmosphere, activities are created with student involvement and input.

The program serves not only the attending children, but the entire family. With special performances, events and work shops planned throughout the year, parents and siblings are encouraged to participate and remain involved.
