Enriching Learning Beyond the Classroom

Our school-based afterschool programs offer students a place to connect, discover, and grow while receiving the support they need to succeed.
Experience the excitement and enrichment of Neighborhood Centers' licensed school-based afterschool programs! Our high-quality, fully licensed programs—available at select schools and our Pheasant Ridge center—provide children with engaging, hands-on learning experiences in a safe and supportive environment.

We bring together dedicated staff and trusted community partners to offer a diverse range of activities that inspire creativity, curiosity, and growth. Through partnerships with the Iowa Youth Writing Project, 4-H, Girl Scouts, UAY, the University of Iowa College of Public Health, and many others, we ensure that every child has access to meaningful enrichment opportunities that complement their education and ignite their imagination.
​

Ready to join the adventure? Enroll your child today by reaching out to the Site Director at their school or by calling the Pheasant Ridge Neighborhood Center.
