As of Oct 28, 2026, Enrollercoaster tracks 34 enrichment and STEM programs in Queens, from 5 providers including Ridgewood YMCA, NYC Parks, and Long Island City YMCA. 24 are open for registration right now, and the rest are closed or not yet reporting a status. 5 programs are listed as free. 40% of the programs with a published schedule meet on a Saturday or Sunday; the rest are weekday-only.
Prices. Across the 19 programs that publish a price, the typical (median) listed price is $123; most fall between $123 and $157, with a full range of $98 to $789. Providers list prices differently — a single class, a month, or a full term — so compare the registration pages, not just the number.
Ages. Programs run from 1 to 18. The most options are for school-age kids (14), preschoolers (12), and toddlers (6).
Where the open spots are. By neighborhood, the most enrichment and STEM programs with open registration today are in Ridgewood (12 open), Long Island City (6 open), Flushing (3 open), Bellerose (2 open), and Far Rockaway (1 open). Neighborhood counts change daily as providers open and close sessions.
Enrichment and STEM classes in NYC cover coding, robotics, science labs, engineering with LEGO, math, cooking and languages, most of them for school-age children and a smaller set for preschoolers. Sessions are typically 60 to 90 minutes, run as a weekly term or a school-break camp, and are hands-on: building, experimenting or making something each session. Class sizes are small, materials and laptops are usually provided, and many programs sort children by grade rather than age. A trial class or a single-week camp is the easiest way to test a subject before committing to a full term.
24 of the 34 enrichment and STEM programs we track in Queens are open for registration as of Oct 28, 2026. Status is read from each provider's own registration system every morning.
The typical listed price is $123, and most of the 19 priced programs fall between $123 and $157. Prices are as published by each provider and may cover one session, a month or a full term. 5 programs are free.
