Miami-Dade County Public Schools (M-DCPS) will expand its After-School Meals Program to include three additional locations starting March 1, 2026: Dr. Michael Krop Sr., Kinloch Park Middle School, and Southwest Miami Senior High.
Part of the USDA’s Child Care Food Program, the initiative ensures students participating in after-school educational or enrichment activities receive nutritious meals, including fresh fruits and vegetables, at no cost. Saturday meals are also available under the program.
Meals are provided without regard to race, color, national origin, sex, disability, or age. Families seeking details on specific schools are encouraged to contact the sites directly.
“This expansion allows more students to receive the nutrition they need to learn and grow,” said M-DCPS. Families seeking information about specific schools or new after-school programs may contact the M-DCPS Department of Food and Nutrition.
The After-School Meals Program has been a mainstay of the district, helping thousands of students access healthy food while participating in enrichment programs. Nearly 300 schools have been participating in the program since last year, including Ada Merritt K-8, Air Base K-8 Center for International Education, American Senior High, Brentwood Elementary, and Coral Reef Elementary, among others.
New after-school programs or Saturday Academies launched during the 2025-26 school year can request participation by contacting M-DCPS’s Department of Food and Nutrition. More information on enrichment activities is available at nutrition.dadeschools.net.
