About PlayCV 

PlayCV is a nonprofit organization dedicated to enriching the lives of Castro Valley students by providing high-quality afterschool programs rooted in joyful play, hands-on learning, and whole-child development.

We partner with nine elementary schools and two middle schools in the Castro Valley Unified School District to deliver meaningful enrichment experiences that include arts, science, music, STEM, recreation, social-emotional learning, and academic support.

Our programs support students in building confidence, exploring creativity, strengthening social skills, and forming meaningful relationships. We create safe, inclusive spaces where students feel welcomed, valued, and connected.

Our work is guided by our Community Agreements, which shape how we show up for students, families, school partners, and each other.

About The Full PLAY (TFP) Program

The Full PLAY (TFP) is PlayCV’s afterschool program, operating from the last bell of the school day until 6:00 p.m.

Each day begins with students checking in and receiving a nutritious snack. Students then rotate through enrichment classes, homework support, outdoor games, STEAM activities, and social engagement opportunities.
