After-School Enrichment Program
The City of El Cerrito works in partnership with local PTAs, parent volunteers and school representatives to provide After-School Enrichment Programs (ASEP's) at Harding, Madera, and Fairmont Elementary Schools. The Recreation Department connects professional instructors and coaches to host a variety of classes held conveniently after school on the elementary school campuses. The goal is to provide students the opportunity to discover and develop passions in athletics, art, science, technology, chess, music and more. Classes vary by school and session.
For more detail on the After-School Enrichment Program, check out our ASEP FAQ.

HAVE A SKILL TO SHARE?
The Recreation Department is looking to offer more classes for our community to enjoy. In order to do so, we need instructors! An instructor can be anyone who has a hobby that they wish to share with others, a business owner who wants to highlight an area of their expertise, or someone who already teaches classes and wants to expand their offerings to reach the El Cerrito community. To learn more about being a contract instructor, click here. To request a Course Proposal form, email Recreation Supervisor Taylor Melton at tmelton@ci.el-cerrito.ca.us.
a note about ASEP's
While After School Enrichment Classes provide a safe, convenient activity following students' school day, please note they are not meant to serve as childcare. Classes are subject to cancellation due to instructor illness or emergency, inclement weather, poor air quality, or other unforeseen circumstances. Please be sure to read the program packet for how such situations are handled. After School Childcare is offered at each school, but is a separate program from the ASEP's. For more detail on the Childcare program, visit www.el-cerrito.org/childcare.
