Discover Why Families Love Parrish's Best After School Program!

We are conveniently located on the corner of Buffalo and 69th Street. We serve students who attend these schools: Parrish Charter Academy, Barbara A. Harvey (both campuses), Annie Lucy Williams Elementary School, North River Charter Academy, and Virgil Mills. 

Our program spans over 6 local schools and hundreds of happy families like yours who also want a structured, safe, and affordable After school Program!

At Parrish’s BEST After School Program @ Alpha, our team is what truly sets us apart. We hire only the most dedicated and qualified individuals to care for our students each day. Our counselors and drivers are experienced, dependable, and passionate about working with kids. Every team member has successfully completed background checks and continually receives ongoing training to ensure a safe, structured, and engaging environment. Whether it’s helping with daily routines, leading fun activities, or reinforcing positive behavior, our staff goes above and beyond to make every afternoon a great one. You can feel confident knowing your child is in the BEST hands after school!

While other After School Programs let their students sit bored and listlessly in a cafeteria or gym, we provide a well-rounded experience that supports your child’s growth and development. From daily martial arts classes that build confidence and discipline, to structured table time, healthy snacks, and fun, engaging activities, everything we do is fully supervised and structured. Parents choose us because we combine safety, structure, and enrichment in a fun and supportive environment their kids look forward to every day.

Choosing the right after school program is one of the most important decisions a parent can make. The hours after school are a key part of your child’s day, when they need structure, support, and a safe environment to continue learning and growing. A high-quality program doesn’t just provide supervision; it offers enrichment, positive role models, and opportunities for social development. At Parrish’s BEST, we understand how much trust it takes to leave your child in someone else’s care, which is why we prioritize safety, structure, and meaningful activities every single day. When you choose the right afterschool program, you’re not just filling time, you’re investing in your child’s future.

More Than Just After School Care

Dear Parrish & Palmetto Families,

Thank you for your interest in our awesome After school Program! We’re so excited to welcome new families and kick off another amazing school year. As the owners of Parrish’s BEST Summer Camp & After school @ Alpha, we personally invite you to join a program that goes beyond basic childcare—where safety, structure, and fun come together every single afternoon.

Our mission is to provide a secure, supportive environment where children can thrive after school. Each day includes martial arts classes, snack time, structured table time, and engaging activities like games, arts & crafts, and themed enrichment. There’s always something exciting happening to keep your child learning, growing, and having fun.

We know how important it is for parents to feel confident in the care their children receive. That’s why our team of experienced and trusted staff is committed to providing top-quality supervision and positive mentorship. We’ve created a space where students feel seen, supported, and inspired every day.

Spots in our After School program are limited and filling up quickly—especially with so many returning families. Reserving your child’s spot now ensures they’ll be part of a program that’s safe, enriching, and designed to help them succeed both in and out of the classroom. We truly believe enrolling in our program will be one of the best decisions you make for your child this school year!

With appreciation,

Sensei Rhonda McCoy and Sensei Adam Saeed
