NO TRANSPORTATION NEEDED!!!
This program is held within your child's school.
Brinckerhoff, Fishkill, & Glenham Elementary Schools
Open to kids in Kindergarten through 6th grade
DESCRIPTION:
Fishkill Recreation operates a highly successful In School Recreation Program, held directly in your child's school (Brinckerhoff, Fishkill, and Glenham Elementary).
Your child will not need to be transported in any way to another location or day care facility because our program is held within your child's school. Your child will be sent (or delivered for the younger ones) to our meeting location within the school where our team of professionals will be ready and eager to spend the next couple hours with him/her.
At the Town of Fishkill Recreation Department, we aim to create a safe and positive group environment for all participants. However, we are not equipped to provide the specialized support required for children who have difficulty working in a group setting or who need one-on-one care due to behavioral challenges.
The Program is closed when school is closed in the afternoon, including snow days and half days.
