At 97 After School Center, every kid walks in feeling safe, seen, and supported. We offer homework help, creative enrichment, and a warm community — right here on Roosevelt Avenue.
97 After School Center was created to fill a gap in our Corona neighborhood — a place where kids can go after the school bell, get help with homework, explore new interests, and simply be kids in a safe and nurturing space.
Located on Roosevelt Avenue, we serve families across Queens with a program built on patience, encouragement, and real care. Our team treats every child like their own, and parents tell us that's what keeps them coming back.
Qualified staff help kids with assignments, reading, and math — building confidence and good study habits along the way.
Art, music, storytelling, and hands-on projects that spark curiosity and let kids express themselves in new ways.
Indoor games, outdoor play, and movement breaks keep energy positive and bodies active throughout the afternoon.
Kids learn to navigate friendships, manage emotions, and build resilience through guided discussions and group activities.
Interactive science experiments, coding games, and guided reading sessions that make learning feel like play.
A nutritious afternoon snack is provided daily — because growing kids need fuel, and healthy habits start early.
A gentle, play-based program focused on building foundational skills and a love of learning.
A balanced mix of academic support, creative projects, and independent thinking skills.
Academic coaching, college-readiness skills, and a space where older kids feel heard and respected.

Located at 97-12 Roosevelt Ave, we're walking distance from dozens of Queens schools — easy pickup, no long drives.
We communicate daily about your child's progress, mood, and accomplishments — because you should never have to wonder how their day went.
From the moment you walk in, you'll feel it — a space designed with care, staff who genuinely love working with kids, and a community that feels like family.
"My daughter used to dread after school. Now she counts down the days until she can come back. The staff here truly care — it shows in everything they do."
"As a single parent, finding a safe place for my son after school was stressful. 97 Center gave us peace of mind — and he actually loves going there every day."
"The homework help alone is worth it — my son's grades improved this year. But what really sets 97 apart is the warmth. You can tell they love what they do."
