PLAYarts afterschool

Note to K-5 families: In February, 2026 the Philadelphia School Board voted to eliminate all scheduled early dismissal or “Half Days” from the 2026-2027 calendar. These additional hours have been absorbed into the regular program tuition and pricing has been modified to reflect the additional hours provided. Full Day Camps at Maas will still require separate registration.

• Tuition Cost: $445/month

  • Includes ALL (179) regularly scheduled program days from 3-6pm

  • Separate registration is only required for Full Day Camps at The Maas Building

  • Includes ANY additional early dismissal days (12-6pm) at your regular school site.

  • NO additional registration will be required for any early dismissals for the 2026-27 school year.

  • Separate registration is only required for Full Day Camps at The Maas Building

For more information and pricing for care on holidays or days when schools are closed for teacher development, see “Full Day Camps” below.

A nonrefundable registration deposit of one month’s tuition will be required to hold your child’s spot in the program. This deposit will act as your last payment and will be applied to your final invoice in May if all other payment terms have been met.

Half Day Camps **New Info**: Based on recent changes to the School District calendar to eliminate all early dismissal days in 2026-2027, PlayArts will no longer offer Half Day Camps at your regular school site. These additional hours have been absorbed into the “regular” program tuition and pricing has been modified to reflect the additional hours provided.

Full Day Camps (on days that school buildings are closed for holidays or teacher development) take place at The Maas Building, located at 1320 N 5th St.

Full Day Camps can be purchased “By-the-Day” or via our “Package Bundle” (Heavily discounted, only have to register once!).
