About ASK US!
We are a school
aged program that is designed to alleviate working parents'
worries. Created with working parents in mind, ASK US! will
provide an affordable, responsible, and caring program which
promotes physical, intellectual, social and cultural programs for
the well being of your child. Our program is offered to West
Islip Community children attending public or private school in
grades K-5. ASK US! is an independent, non-profit
organization.
The ASK US!
Program offers two sessions for your convenience. Each session
operates Monday through Friday, or every day the school is
in session. The morning session hours begin at 7 am and ends
at 9 am. Breakfast is served between 7 am and 8 am. Games,
creative play and art supplies are provided.
The afternoon
session begins at 3 pm and ends at 6 pm. Children are transported
from their school to the ASK US! program. The children are
given a light snack with juice while attendance is taken.
The children then have several choices of activities or programs
to participate in throughout the afternoon.
 Games, puzzles, books,
and arts and crafts are available to the children at all times.
Monday through Thursday children are always encouraged to use the
time in the library to do their homework. This gives the
children the quiet and individual attention that might be needed
to complete their homework assignments. Staff members
supervise and provide extra help when needed.
There is time set
for the children to use the gymnasium or the outside playground
(weather permitting) to promote large motor skills and good
sportsmanship.
Transportation to
your child's school is provided by the West Islip School District.
All children are expected to be on their best behavior on the
buses and to follow the Transportation Department's School Bus
Code Behavior.
