MMCC’s Discovery Club/Afterschool is the place to be during the school year, with a host of activities for children of all ages. Located at 3450 DeKalb Ave., MMCC’s Discovery Club/Afterschool is a great place for children to enjoy an enriched curriculum of classes and clubs in Norwood.

Activities include ice skating, bowling, computer courses, soccer, art workshop, nature crafts, drama, music, basketball, activity groups and homework help. All of these classes and clubs are included in the affordable fee. Children receive a nutritious snack each day.

Special needs services may be available for your child based on certain criteria. A current Individualized Education Program (IEP) and intake interview must be scheduled prior to the student starting the program.

The program serves children from Kindergarten through 5th grade and starts Wednesday, Sept. 16. Parents can choose afterschool services from two to five days a week. Afterschool is available until 6 p.m. (late coverage is available until 6:30 p.m.).

Escort service is available for PS 94, PS 280 and St. Ann’s. Van services are available from PS 56, Bronx Community Charter and St. Brendan’s, PS 8, PS 95 and Am Park School. School buses and vans from CPE, River East, Bronx New School, Kinneret and Fieldstons schools stop at our corner.

MMCC has been entrenched in the neighborhood since the 1940s when a group of neighborhood women noticed a need for teen and senior services. By 1958, a 30,000-square-foot space was carved out for MMCC at the corner of East Gun Hill Road and DeKalb Avenue. Recreation has served as a hallmark to MMCC, whose ultimate goal is community building. Services are also available for senior citizens.
