Can you tell me about PlayCV?

PlayCV is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization #87-1612445 whose mission is to bring fun and enriching after-school classes, programs, camps and activities to TK - 8th grade students in our community.

Can you tell me about what happens at PlayCV?

We offer three different types of programs; The Full P.L.A.Y., Enrichment Classes, and Summer Camps. The Full P.L.A.Y. is essentially a school-year long program that runs every day that school is open. Enrichment Classes are an a-la-carte offering of classes that typically lasts one hour per day, one or two days per week, in 8-week 9-week or 10-week long sessions. Summer Camps are Monday - Friday day camps offered as half ( AM or PM) or full days.

Our after school programs begin in the multi-purpose room or cafeteria where the children are served a snack provided by the district. Then they're off to their respective programs.

Students enrolled in The Full P.L.A.Y. will get an opportunity to join up to two PlayCV Enrichment Classes during each 8-week to 10-week session. For a list of the various Enrichment Classes that are available each session, please see our course catalog. 

How are PlayCV instructors and staff selected?

Everyone who joins the PlayCV program goes through an extensive background check and is cleared through the Castro Valley Unified School District.

What is the Student to Instructor ratio in PlayCV's programs?

PlayCV ensures a ratio of one (1) instructor for every twenty (20) students. For TK and Kindergarten, the ratio is one (1) instructor for every ten (10) students.

What's the difference between PlayCV and other extended daycare services?

PlayCV is not an extended daycare service. We are a non-profit organization dedicated to bringing enrichment classes and activities to Castro Valley schools. At the heart of everything we do is the goal of bringing back a little fun, to introduce topics not normally available at our schools, and to provide more diverse social engagement opportunities.
