Looking for an after-school program that’s more than just child care? Welcome to DC Way’s After-School Program at the Historic Hill Center, where we’ve partnered with the Hill Center to bring dynamic, hands-on enrichment right to the heart of Capitol Hill. Here, young learners explore, create, and move through a rotating mix of art, STEM, sports, and storytelling — all in one of DC’s most beautiful and historic landmarks.

Classes begin September 2 — spots are limited, so secure your child’s place today and let the after-school fun begin!
