The before care and aftercare programs through the Recreation Department are now open for registration. There is limited space available due to COVID restrictions. New this year is Before the Bell (a morning care program) at the Recreation Center (7315 New Hampshire Ave)! Part time and full time recreation department staff have just been through two full days of COVID safety training to prepare. Scholarships are still available for Takoma Park residents and those that have recently lost their job due to COVID may have the program fees waived.

Participants will be divided into pods from TPES and PBES.  If you are a virtual learning and need some socialization and fun, consider registering as well.

While the community follows state and county orders to stay at home to mitigate the spread of the coronavirus (COVID-19), the City has gathered resources to help the community maintain healthy lives; have meaningful, safe social interactions virtually; and keep children educated and entertained at home. Our Virtual Community Center is Takoma Park’s one-stop shop for FREE recreational and educational resources (in-person and online) as we continue to do our part to slow the progression of COVID-19.

Fall classes have recently started.   Registration is required for all in-person classes and some virtual classes.  We have added a plethora of new classes for the Fall season!

In-person classes may fill quickly due to the limited number of spaces.  We will follow the latest CDC guidelines and have established Departmental guidelines as well.
