FAME After School picks up your child from school and brings them straight to us.

From there? Performing arts classes, outdoor adventures, park trips, homework help, a daily snack, air hockey tournaments, Legos, forts, crafts, and the kind of unstructured play that kids don't get enough of anymore.

You pick them up happy, worn out in the best way, and ready for dinner.

What Parents

Are Saying

Jesse C.

(Kids Troupe and After School)

"FAME has been a wonderful experience for our family, and Mary has been an incredible director and mentor for our children over the past several years. We have been so impressed by the positivity and encouragement of Mary and the entire staff, who hold kids to a high standard while always remaining compassionate, supportive, and deeply respectful of where they are in their growth. They have created an environment where our kids feel safe, challenged, included, and ultimately proud of their efforts. I would enthusiastically recommend FAME to any family looking for a program that helps kids build confidence, develop their talents, and find their voice in such a positive and uplifting environment."

Iryna P.

(After School)

"Sofya has been attending your After School program, and we’ve had a wonderful experience. The environment is warm, structured, and very supportive, and it’s clear how much care and attention you give to each child. Sofya truly enjoys her time there, she comes home happy, engaged, and excited to go back the next day. We especially appreciate the balance between learning, creativity, and fun. It’s comforting to know she is in such a positive and encouraging space after school."

Kelley A.

(After School and Day Camp)

"My daughter has been attending FAME’s after school and summer programs for the past two years and she absolutely loves it. She is always giddy with excitement to go and always has a smile on her face when I pick her up. From field trips, to free play, to arts and crafts, to singing Taylor Swift and karaoke on the stage, she never wants for fun and joy-filled activities. I have come to know the staff as well, and their love of the arts and desire to help nourish and spark children’s creativity is palpable. I don’t feel like I am leaving my daughter with just anyone, I feel like I am leaving her with family."

B. Williams

(After School, Piano Class, Voice Class, and Piano Lessons)

"A welcoming and warm place for a child to embrace who they are and learn how to shine with confidence. Mary, Jen, and the staff are inclusive and caring. Attentive to any concerns or questions I have had. My child has thoroughly enjoyed every summer camp, group and private lessons, and spending after school at FAME."
