The Las Cruces Recreation Section Afterschool Program was designed to provide an affordable, quality After School program for children during the regular school year. The program helps children develop their academic, physical, and social skills in a safe and caring environment. The three major components of the program are educational, nutritional, and recreational, with all three given the same importance. The Program runs concurrent with the Las Cruces Public School Calendar and serves over 300 school aged kids. This boasts a 15-1 ratio and the City provides staff that are professional, motivated, and multicultural role models for the children.
