Before and Afterschool Programs

Looking for an after school activity for your elementary-age group? Our professional educators will teach a weekly one-hour session for up to twelve students for grades K - 5. Program sessions can be offered for three to ten weeks and can be taught to children of a single or two consecutive grade levels. (i.e.. K-1, 3-4). Programs can be designed to accommodate school needs or requests.

Program Themes:

Puzzles, Mysteries & the Scientific Method: Enter into the world of puzzles and problem solving! We'll study fingerprints and other forensic science tools, crack codes and create experiments around plants and animals.

Pirates, Dragons and Other Fabulous Beasts: We'll have a swashbucklin' good time as we explore the science of pirates and investigate dragonology. We'll also discover other fabulous creatures such as snakes, spiders and dinosaurs.

Animals, Authors and Art: Each week, students will delve into a storybook, meet live animals and complete a take-home craft based on that week's theme.

Wizards, Magicians and Scientists: From the world of Harry Potter to the magic of nature, there are a lot of tricks, spells and potions to be learned in this After School! Students will meet magical creatures, discover the secrets of "potions" classes and create their own magic!
