Hello PS 198 Families! We’re looking forward to partnering with PS 198 Enrichment in the Fall, which will begin on September 17th. Please review the calendar and program descriptions carefully before registering. When you’re ready to register, click on the orange button and proceed through the checkout.
If you have 2 children in the same PS 198 After-School Program, you will be eligible for a 10% discount on most classes (for exceptions, see class descriptions below). We will refund this amount back on your card once we see both children enrolled – no promo code is necessary.
When signing up for Enrichment, after-school care is included until 5pm on the day the child is registered for the Enrichment class. If your child’s Enrichment class ends earlier than 5pm, it is not required he/she stay until that time – you’re welcome to pick up any time after the class ends.
Children in the Enrichment Program will have the option to participate in the KING+ program which provides care until 6pm. Students in the KING+ will be charged a flat fee of $10/day.
Refund Policy: Within the first 2 full weeks of Enrichment classes, if you are not 100% satisfied with your class purchase, you may transfer your child into another class (fees may apply due to varied class costs). No refunds will be given after the second full week of Enrichment classes.
No Enrichment Classes on: 9/10, 9/11, 9/19, 10/8, 11/6, 11/12, 11/22-11/23, 12/24 – 1/1.
These closings are based on school holiday closings and other school events/occasions.
Cancelled Classes: Should an Enrichment class date be cancelled by the instructor, a make-up class will be held during the week of January 22nd at the request of the program director of that class. No make up classes will be held for snow-days or other inclement weather closings.
Closed Door Policy: During class, it is asked that parents, guardians, siblings, and other friends and family remain outside the school/classroom unless otherwise instructed by the teacher of the class. While it is always a pleasure to see everyone, the excitement can distract the students and divert attention from the instructor.
Reminders:
If participating in an active Enrichment class, please be sure to pack a change of clothes appropriate for the activity.
Children may only be released to parents/guardians that have been authorized by you. These can be updated at any point in the session by the parent/guardian of the child. Please email info@kidsinthegame.com with this information.

Experts agree that learning to code helps young people develop the ability to think creatively, reason systematically, and work collaboratively — essential skills for life in the 21st century. By participating in our coding classes, young students are able to experience and master new technologies. We teach them computer science basics,coding, video-making, robotics, electronics and a number of other science-related subjects in a fun, relaxed environment. In addition to learning about technology, our students end up making lasting friendships and building self-esteem. They collaborate on awesome projects, which they share with classmates, friends and the community. So, let your kids create and express themselves, let them learn to code and let them code to learn. Our programs are designed for 5-14 year-olds. No experience is necessary and instruction is tailored based on each camper’s experience and interests
K-2nd: Introduction to Computational Thinking (Scratch Jr)
Each week students complete fun little projects using Scratch Jr, an app inspired by MIT’s popular Scratch programming language and specifically designed for young children. Participants learn about Sequencing, Cause & Effect and other Computational Thinking concepts (which can be applied in fields other than Computer Science). They have a blast making characters move, jump, dance and sing by connecting graphical programming blocks similar to LEGOs. They create their own interactive stories and games, and exercise their imagination and creativity.
3rd-5th: Introduction to Coding with Scratch
This class allows students to learn the fundamentals of Computer Science while being creative and expressing themselves. Participants are exposed to new concepts in programming (e.g., Variables, Conditionals, Boolean Operators, Divide and Conquer Techniques, etc.) by working on a number of mini-projects. The projects include creating songs and automated drawings, animating student-created stories, designing interactive cards and developing computer games. Students are encouraged to experiment, to fail, and to keep trying until succeeding.

Our USTA Quick Start format makes learning tennis easier and more fun than ever! Our programs introduce tennis sized right for kids so they develop skills and have fun right from the start. Using modified equipment and courts tailored to a child’s size and age, kids will learn, rally, play and compete quickly and in a way that is both enjoyable and rewarding. The Quick Start format fosters slower-moving and lower-bouncing balls, shorter and lighter racquets, and smaller courts. The smaller courts will give kids the confidence and ability to cover the entire court. The shorter, lighter racquets will allow kids to control the racquet and discourage extreme grips. The balls will slow play down, bounce at a height equal to the kids’ playing abilities and provide longer rallies, allowing kids to better develop their court skills, tactics and strategy. All classes are taught by our staff of certified professionals, who will teach your child the game of tennis, the sport of a lifetime.
