A Space for Children—“Plady”

Plady facilities are spaces for elementary school children to play and study after school in a safe and secure environment. They are available to children of both working and non-working parents. Note, however, that children who are already enrolled in municipal afterschool daycare programs are not eligible for Plady spaces.

Eligibility

Children attending municipal elementary schools or children who live in the city (you must first complete the designated registration procedures to apply for this program).

If both the school the child is attending and a school that covers the children’s school districts offer Plady, you can apply to only one school.
