Extended Day
Something More Provocative
Joy. Enrichment. Safety.
Morning Care & After Care
Fun, Nurturing and Cooperative Environment
After a long school day, children enjoy relaxing on the sunny deck with a healthy snack before games and free play on the yard, supervised homework lab, quiet reading, or one of our various after-school clubs.
Building Self-Awareness, While Recharging Their Batteries
We create space and time for students to decide for themselves how to spend their down time. Organized games are always an option, but if a child would rather draw or read or sit quietly with a friend, we’re on board. Children today live very full lives, so we embrace any opportunity where they can just do their own thing.
Child-Teacher Ratio of No More Than 10:1
In addition to bringing their own special talents to the program, our tireless team works together to offer the care and attention each child deserves, including assistance with homework assignments in the library.

“It’s a godsend to drop my son at orchestra on my way to work and to have him enjoying Maker Club or Filmmaking or getting his homework done before I collect him at 5:30.”
