Broadway Bound Kids SPRING Semester 2026
Welcome to Broadway Bound Kids! Broadway Bound Kids is a nonprofit providing a transformative and inclusive environment that inspires youth through performing arts education. We provide comprehensive interactive programs for Pre-K through 12th Grade in the performing arts that focus on enhancing technical skills, social emotional learning, confidence, connection, mindfulness, and creativity. Inclusion and access are central to our programming and organizational culture as we work to break down societal and financial barriers for youth, their families, and their communities. We cultivate communities of open hearts and minds amongst a diverse cross section of youth in New York City and beyond by enabling every student to explore all they can be, on stage and off.
***NEW*** After School also requires access to the PS6 building, facilities, security, and custodianship; nursing coverage until 4PM; and ongoing facilitation and coordination across functions easily seen (like late pick-up on days when you need it) and back-office, no-spotlight work (like paying out city permits). This year, for transparency, programs have the opportunity to show the split between this cost and the base programming costs. It's not a new cost; it's a visibility that we are happy to share with our community.
Registration opens 12/2/25
