Homework help, specialized tutoring
and a safe place for Kindergarten-5th grade students in our free after-school program

What is the Primary Ed program at A House on Beekman?

As your child grows, one thing about the school day becomes
increasingly clear: the day does not end at the final bell.

We created our free supplemental program for kids in elementary school to give them a supportive and fun learning environment for the hours between the end of the school day and the time they are picked up to go home.

But this is not just a place to kill time. The Primary Ed program at A House on Beekman is designed to make the most of what could easily have become empty hours filled with television, video games or even walking the streets alone.

  • After school pick up (for partner schools)

  • Parent drop-off option

  • Homework help

  • Healthy snacks

  • Specialized tutoring in reading and math
