A Message from the ESMS/Manhattan Youth Program Director
March 15, 2020
Dear ESMS Families,
For more than 30 years, Manhattan Youth has provided after-school programs every day that public schools are open, holiday camps during school vacations, and even emergency coverage during some weather-related school closures. As New York City prepared to fight the COVID-19 pandemic, we remained committed to operating our programs for children and families who need our care. Today's decision by our State and City leaders to close NYC public schools and all other nonessential businesses has temporarily shuttered our doors.
All Manhattan Youth programs are closed as of Monday, March 16. In the days to come, we will send you updates about our programs, and the ways Manhattan Youth will continue to support children and families through this crisis. For now, we hope that you and your family remain healthy and safe.
Your Manhattan Youth Family
Best,
Nick Lacativa
