Parents often ask

At World Explorers After School, every afternoon becomes a journey of discovery. From the depths of the oceans to the far reaches of space—and everywhere in between—our Explorers set off on dynamic adventures that spark curiosity and creativity.

Over the course of the school year, children explore global wonders, taste international cuisines, dive into the diversity of our planet’s environment, and investigate the marvels of science and storytelling. Along the way, they begin to see themselves not just as students, but as changemakers in a global community. Our mission is to nurture a love of learning, adventure, and cultural curiosity in every child who joins us.

Each afternoon’s classes also include time for snacks, homework support (if needed), and unstructured free play—ensuring a balanced, joyful experience every day.

Our program is structured around three daily class blocks, giving families the flexibility to build a personalized schedule that suits their child's interests, learning goals, and energy levels.

Classes span a wide variety of themes—from science, art, and sports to theater, language, and creative play. Families can choose to enroll in all three blocks each day, or mix and match individual classes throughout the week.

Whether your child wants to dive into theater on Tuesdays, tackle STEM challenges on Thursdays, or play soccer every Friday, there’s a path for every Explorer.

World Explorers offers three engaging WE CORE Classes each day, Monday through Friday. Classes are organized into one-hour blocks and run from 2:30 PM to 5:30 PM, with an extended pickup window from 5:30–6:00 PM.

✅ Flexible Scheduling: Families can enroll their child in 1, 2, or all 3 class blocks per day, depending on what fits best with your schedule.

✅ Trimester Enrollment: Our afterschool program runs on a trimester system (Fall, Winter, and Spring). You can choose anywhere from 1 to 15 classes per trimester based on your family’s needs.

✅ Class Times:

2:45–3:45 PM
3:45–4:45 PM
4:45–5:45 PM Pickup is included for children enrolled in the 2:45 class. Final dismissal takes place between 5:45–6:00 PM.

World Explorers has partnered with experts from various organizations, the PS 32 teacher team, and select World Explorers team members to offer crafted classes that allow students to take a deep dive into their current special interests. WE Partner classes are available Monday through Friday, with varied pricing and class lengths depending on the subject and provider.

Build your schedule with your choice of WE and WE Partner classes to create the perfect schedule for your family’s care needs and your student’s interests.

World Explorers flexible after school Drop In Care offers families the opportunity to utilize the WE Afterschool program on days they are not currently enrolled. Drop in care registration is available online up to 24 hours prior to the requested date. Drop in care is for the full day (all 3 class blocks). Drop in care is $50 per session. Discounted drop in packs of 5,10, and 20 are available to utilize throughout the school year and can be shared between siblings. Drop in Care is not available for WE Partner Classes. Learn more about drop in care and register below.

3K Students: During the Fall Trimester, 3K students are eligible for one WE CORE class block (2:45 PM – 3:45 PM) Monday-Friday. We understand transition into public school can be a lot to digest for our young explorers. To ease the transition we offer 1 afterschool class a day from 2:45-3:45 for our 3K students for the Fall Trimester. This allows for both the team, the school, and families to best assess the needs of our youngest and newest students. We offer full day enrollment to 3K families for the Winter and Spring Trimester beginning on January 5, 2026.

UPK – 5th Grade Students: Full afterschool coverage (3 class blocks) is available to students in UPK through 5th grade during each trimester period.

World Explorers operates on a trimester schedule (Fall, Winter, and Spring) and offers three registration periods for the upcoming trimesters:

Winter Trimester Registration:November 3, 2025 – December 12, 2025

The program runs from September 15, 2025, through the last day of school, and follows the Department of Education (DOE) schedule for emergency closings or schedule changes.

For students requiring afterschool care after registration has closed, our flexible daily drop-in service is available, subject to space. This service applies only to the WE CORE classes and is not offered for WE Partner classes. The daily drop-in fee is $50. Discounted Drop-In Packs of 5, 10, and 20 days are also available for purchase. All students using our drop-in service must complete the Explorers Family Profile and submit a Child Health Form before attending. To learn more or to utilize this service, visit our flexible daily drop-in service page.

World Explorers operates on a trimester schedule, with three distinct registration periods, one for each trimester:

Fall Trimester Registration: June 13, 2025 – September 2, 2025
Winter Trimester Registration:November 3, 2025 – December 12, 2026
Spring Trimester Registration: February 2, 2025 – March 13, 2025

Recognizing that schedules and interests often change throughout the school year, this trimester model allows families to commit for shorter periods and have the flexibility to adjust their enrollment as needed. It also provides opportunities for all families to participate in specialized interest classes. Please note, we do not offer full-year enrollment for the 2025/2026 school year.

Need WE Partner: Gymnastics for 1 block on Monday from 2:30-3:30, WE Classes for 2 blocks on Monday 3:30-5:30, and WE Classes on Fridays from 2:30-4:30 PM?
That’s 1 WE Partner block + 2 blocks on Monday + 2 blocks on Friday = 4 blocks/week + Gymnastics Tuition fee → Choose the "4 Blocks" tuition (calculated as 4 x the 1 block price) PLUS the listed tuition for the WE Partner: Gymnastics class. ($508 + $400 = $908 for the fall trimester)

We adhere to the Department of Health guidelines and known best practices in early childhood development which require additional care requirements for 3K/UPK-4 students. Our younger group requires a smaller counselor to child ratio and team members with dedicated experience in early childhood education to successfully manage their needs and capabilities. Our tuition pricing factors these required and necessary staffing supports into account, which results in a higher tuition for our preschool students.

We’re proud to offer the following savings on World Explorers CORE classes:

NYC DOE Employees: 10-30% off tuition, depending on DOE employee category

DOE Discount Rates

30%: DOE Teacher
30%: Teacher Assistants, Paraprofessionals, Custodial Staff, Parent Coordinators, School Secretaries, Food Service Professionals

Please allow for 48 hours for email responses.

We use several methods to keep families informed and involved:

Brightwheel: This app is our main tool for daily updates. Your Site Supervisor and counselors will use it to share messages, attendance information, photos of activities, and important updates. Please download the Brightwheel app using the invitation link you'll receive to stay in the loop. For enrollment or billing questions, please email info@explorerkids.us, as our support team does not use Brightwheel for these inquiries.

Monthly Newsletters: Each month, we'll send you a newsletter via email (from info@explorerkids.us) that highlights upcoming activities and the exciting topics your child will be exploring, from global cultures to science and art. Please ensure your email settings allow you to receive our messages.

Social Media: Follow us on Instagram and Facebook for glimpses into our daily adventures, important announcements, and program promotions.

Email & Phone: For general inquiries, reach out to our Explorers Support Team at 855.687.6923 ext. 0 during business hours or email info@explorerkids.us. For questions specific to the daily program, please contact your Site Supervisor directly. We aim to respond to emails and phone calls within 48 business hours (Monday to Friday, 8 am to 6 pm). For immediate assistance during afterschool hours, the Brightwheel app or a direct call to Ms. Rosey is the quickest way to connect.

Yes.

We are happy to partner with your family to ensure your child’s support team is accommodated during their time with us. Please email your Site Supervisor with the schedule, purpose, and name of your child’s therapist and we will work to ensure that any necessary paperwork is completed and that we have all we need to create seamless transitions between our program and your child’s scheduled services.

Each child has unique support needs, and we are dedicated to working alongside your family on a support plan that both addresses your child’s needs and considers the support capabilities of our counselors.

Yes!

Our program is nut-free.
As part of our application process, we ask if your child has any allergies, carries an Epi-pen, and a detailed description of their allergies. We use this information to include your child's details in our site's allergy postings, snack planning including where your child sits for snack times, and counselor notifications.
If your child has an allergy treatment plan provided by your child's pediatrician, we use this information for counselor training and guidance to ensure that your child remains safe while in our care. Please ensure that your most updated allergy treatment plan remains on file with us.
Our staff is Epi-pen trained, has current CPR training, and has updated training on how to respond to any on-site emergencies.
If you need to speak to our team about your child's needs, you may schedule a time to speak to our:

Site Supervisor, Mr. Curt: curt@explorerkids.us

Program Director, Mrs. Tahirah: tahirah@explorerkids.us

We understand that this may be the first year for many of our little Explorers (3K, 4K, & K) navigating a full school day along with after school activities. Every child may be at a different place in their potty training journey towards being able to utilize the bathroom facilities without assistance. We are here to help support our Explorers when accidents do arise.

How We Assist Children in the Bathroom:

Our counselors will guide children to the restroom and provide assistance through audible and demonstrative instructions and coaching to help guide their restroom routine and ensure that they are following adequate sanitary steps as developmentally appropriate. Due to the setup of the bathrooms at our location, we do not have access to changing tables or other specialized facilities. It is essential that your child has a full change of clothing readily available in their backpack.

What is Considered a Bathroom Accident?

A bathroom accident is when a child is unable to make it to the restroom in time or has a mishap while using the restroom, resulting in soiled clothes or undergarments. Accidents may occur during the school day, during the transition to after school, or during the after school program. We understand that accidents happen, and our staff is here to assist your child with care and discretion.

We kindly request that all parents provide a full change of clothes for their child, including:

A full outfit (shirt, pants, etc.)
Extra pull-ups (if needed)
Extra underwear

These items should be stored in your child’s backpack, separate from the supplies you provide to their classroom teacher for the school day. This will allow us to quickly access the necessary items during after school hours without any delays.

World Explorers requires a valid medical form on file to attend any of our programs.

The medical form must be dated within one year of the date of attendance. The date of the physical exam is the date recognized by the DOH. Immunization records and visit summaries do not suffice for a valid medical form.

Forms that expire during the school year must be updated at the time of expiration. Families with upcoming expiration dates will be notified by their site supervisor at the beginning of the month of expiration that a new form needs to be submitted.

Students with invalid forms will resume being picked up by Explorers staff once a valid form is received.

You may find your booked services by logging into your account on the website. You must have a site member account to access your bookings. Site member accounts can only be accessed on the desktop version of the website.

YES! Our World Explorers Community & Family Code of Conduct policies are given to guardians every trimester (or following major policy updates) to review and sign during the enrollment process. Parents/guardians are required to sign the agreement of the listed policies before their child’s first day of the afterschool program each trimester.
