The kids are always growing -- and now so are we.

We're thrilled to announce Allan's Afterschool is expaaaaanding into a new space.

Our new location is at St. Veronica's, 149 Christopher St. There we'll have several different rooms instead of just one, with more varied activities, music, dance and focused play.

Having new space is wonderful, but what never changes is the heart of Allan's Afterschool which remains the same reliable, devoted, professional childcare you've come to count on.

We've never been more excited for school to start. And we can't wait to kick off this exciting year with you!
