What Your Family Receives When

You Join Nest Music

When you join the Nest Music Family, you're not just signing up for after-school care.

You're choosing peace of mind.

You're choosing mentorship.

You're choosing a place where your child is seen, heard, fed, supported, and

inspired.

Here's exactly what your child will experience:

Academic Support That

Builds Confidence

Homework doesn't have to end in frustration.

At Nest Music, your child is paired with a caring mentor who helps them settle in, decompress, and refocus after a long school day. We guide students through homework step-by-step while building independence and confidence.

We also practice techniques and light meditation to help children feel present and encouraged, especially when work feels challenging.
Healthy Snacks & Evening

Meals

Most children eat lunch before 12:00 PM, and many don't finish it.

That means by the time school ends, they're hungry.

We provide an evening snack and light meal that includes options like sandwiches, pizza, pasta, fruits, vegetables, and other healthy choices. Meals are selected with children's preferences in mind, and bottled water is always available.

Mentorship That Feels Like Family
Children thrive when they feel safe and loved.

Our students often describe our staff as "second parents." That's because we don't just supervise, we invest. We guide. We celebrate.

We correct with care.

We help children discover their strengths and pursue their passions.

Imagine the peace of mind that comes from knowing:
- Your child is supported academically
- They're growing creatively
- They're being mentored by adults who truly care
That's the Nest Music difference

Why Bronx Familes Trust Nest Music

Don't just take our word for it. Here's what

parents in our community are saying:

Jevon Martin

CEO, House of Jada

My son got his homework done and he also got a bestfriend.

"My son was attending the Bennington School on Bronxwood Avenue and I wanted a place that would provide afterschool pickup and provide a wide variety of activities, but I didn't know what was available in my area. Until a parent recommended Nest Music, my son loved being there because he could express himself, especially through music, and the mentors were so understanding and kind."

Shavonne Newton

License Realtor in Connetitcut

My son needed someone who believed in him.

"My son Ozie was struggling with his regents exams at PS 78 and what made it worse was he sprained his ankle a week before exams. My son had to spend his school days recovering at the Nest Afterschool and Ms Kenya kindly and firmly let him know that the time off from school would be spent studying and doing practice tests to prepare for his exams. He passed the exams with flying colors and Ms Kenya happily attended his graduation."

Nicole Richards

Medical Assistant

My son started reading the bible before elementary school.

"Others would call my son a highly proficient child. I know that his foundation was started at the Nest. There, he read daily, and when a child is read to daily, reading becomes second nature. That's what sets Nest Music apart from other afterschool programs. They actually read and engage with my child. Thank You."

Missy B.

CEO, Colorful Daycare

My daugther has been at the Nest since 3rd grade.

" One day, my daughter was being bullied by a student, and she was attacked in the playground. The incident was being downplayed by the school's playground attendant. When Ms. Lire arrived to pick up my daughter, she told her about what had happened, and Ms Lire went to the office to file a complaint with the school about the incident. She stood up for my child even though the school said it wasn't a big deal. It good to know someone will stand up for my child's safety when I am not there."
