GAN KIDS CLUB

After-School Enrichment Program

Welcome to Gan Kids Club, a high-quality daily afterschool program with direct pick up from all Melville Schools. The place where the school day ends and an exciting afternoon of learning, enrichment, friendship, and fun begins!

Gan Kids Club is a nurturing after-school program serving children in the Melville and surrounding community, designed to make afternoons easier for parents and more meaningful for children. 

We begin with direct pickup from local schools in our beautiful, brand-new school bus. From there, children enjoy an afternoon filled with professional enrichment programs, homework support, swimming, dance, theater arts, STEM, Hebrew School, Bar & Bat Mitzvah lessons, healthy kosher snacks, caring staff, friendships, and fun—all in one convenient program.

At Gan Kids Club, we believe the hours between school and home are an incredible opportunity for children to grow. Our goal is to provide a balanced afternoon where children can complete homework, stay active, discover new interests, strengthen their Jewish identity, make friends, Learn, Play, Grow, and Connect.

Weekly Friday Challah Baking

Each week at Gan Kids Club, the children enjoy a special hands-on experience as they braid and bake delicious challah and join in a joyful Shabbat party filled with singing, stories, and celebration. This weekly tradition helps campers connect with their rich heritage in a fun, creative, and meaningful way—building memories and values that last long after camp ends.
