As of Sep 13, 2026, Enrollercoaster tracks 18 enrichment and STEM programs for school-age kids in Queens, from 4 providers including Ridgewood YMCA, NYC Parks, and Cross Island YMCA. 14 are open for registration right now, and the rest are closed or not yet reporting a status. 3 programs are listed as free. 19% of the programs with a published schedule meet on a Saturday or Sunday; the rest are weekday-only.
Prices. Across the 11 programs that publish a price, the typical (median) listed price is $123; most fall between $123 and $130, with a full range of $123 to $184. Providers list prices differently — a single class, a month, or a full term — so compare the registration pages, not just the number.
Ages. Every program here accepts at least part of the school-age kids range (ages 5–12); the list leads with the classes built for this age and finishes with those that only touch it at the edge.
Where the open spots are. By neighborhood, the most enrichment and STEM programs for school-age kids with open registration today are in Ridgewood (11 open), Bellerose (2 open), and Flushing (1 open). Neighborhood counts change daily as providers open and close sessions.
For school-age children (5 to 12), programs split by ability as much as by age, and this is the band with the widest choice: recreational classes, leagues with games, competitive tracks and multi-week camps. After-school and weekend slots dominate; weekday daytime programs in this band are mostly school-break camps.
14 of the 18 enrichment and STEM programs for school-age kids we track in Queens are open for registration as of Sep 13, 2026. Status is read from each provider's own registration system every morning.

Usually yes, if the child's age falls inside the range the provider publishes. On this page the classes built specifically for ages 5–12 are listed first; those that only overlap the edge of the range come last, so check the age chip on each card.
