It is a partnership between the Department of Parks, Recreation and Community Facilities and Richmond Public Schools. The program allows children who are in kindergarten through fifth grade, to participate in educational and recreational activities each and every day of the school year! We promote the "learning is fun" philosophy. No Fee for the After School Program The After School Program is offered at no cost and is available each day that the schools are open.
