Social development is an important part of the role we play in your child’s life. Whether before and after school or during one of our camps, our program gives kids a chance to interact in a fun, stress-free and collaborative environment. Memory making occurs here daily as kids share experiences, and laughter is sure to erupt during action-packed activities.
KIDS TRY NEW THINGS AS THEY GAIN CONFIDENCE
Forming friendships and tackling challenges together are only part of the equation to becoming more confident. Opportunity and encouragement play major roles, too. That’s why our engaged teachers inspire kids to explore unchartered territories like sports, art, drama, science, technology, cooking and more.
Finding a passion and unearthing an unknown talent go a long way in building a kid’s sense of self-worth – assuring them they are truly enough, and their potential greatness knows no bounds!

Our program serves as an impactful segue between the demands of school and the comforts of home, and our extended hours alleviate some of your stress, too!
