Gather & Grow: (M-TH, 12 PM - 12:55 PM)
This intentional midday gathering begins with children sharing a meal together (students will bring a packed lunch from home). The class is designed to nurture connection, conversation, and a true sense of belonging. During mealtime, children naturally practice the social skills that matter most: listening, turn-taking, perspective-taking, and working through challenges in real time. After lunch, students continue with a blend of guided conversation, cooperative games, storytelling, and open-ended play, building confidence, social awareness, and meaningful friendships. There is space here for every child, whether they are eager to connect, quietly observing, or still finding their voice. Gather & Grow honors the importance of slowing down, sharing space, and building relationships, recognizing that social and emotional growth is just as essential as academic learning.
Thinkers & Tinkers (Mondays, 1 PM - 1:55 PM)
In this class, children build those foundational executive function skills that help them navigate both learning and life, all through meaningful, play-based experiences. Through puzzles, games, hands-on challenges, and collaborative problem-solving, students naturally strengthen skills like flexible thinking, emotional regulation, planning, and self-control. This class honors each child’s natural love of play while gently guiding them toward greater independence, confidence, and resilience. Activities are thoughtfully designed to be developmentally appropriate, highly engaging, and supportive of social-emotional growth, all while laying a strong foundation for academic success.
Wonder Studio (Tuesdays, 1 PM - 1:55 PM)
In Wonder Studio, children explore creativity and self-expression through hands-on art, storytelling, and imaginative projects. From painting and sculpture to dramatic play and collaborative storytelling, each experience invites curiosity, experimentation, and joyful discovery. Students are encouraged to follow their ideas, take creative risks, and develop confidence in expressing themselves while building social-emotional skills like empathy, communication, and collaboration. This class celebrates each child’s unique perspective and fosters a sense of wonder, play, and pride in their creative achievements.
Cooking Chemistry (Wednesdays, 1 PM - 1:55 PM)
In Cooking Chemistry, children explore math and science through real-life cooking and baking, using simple, clean ingredients you can feel good about. From sourdough bread and fresh pasta to seasonal recipes and favorite treats, each experience invites hands-on discovery in the kitchen. As we mix, measure, knead, and create, students naturally build skills in sequencing, problem-solving, and practical life tasks, all within a rich, sensory environment. Along the way, we explore the “why” behind what we’re doing, bringing in simple chemistry concepts and occasional hands-on experiments that spark curiosity and wonder. This class blends creativity, nourishment, and learning, helping children gain confidence in the kitchen while making meaningful connections to the world around them.
Wellness Lab (Thursdays, 1PM - 1:55 PM)
In this class, children explore movement, mindfulness, and healthy habits in a playful, hands-on way. Through yoga-inspired stretches, cooperative games, breathwork, guided movement activities, and interactive lessons about nutrition, outdoor play, and self-care, students develop a deeper understanding of how to care for their minds and bodies. This class blends social-emotional learning, physical activity, and wellness education to help children build focus, self-regulation, confidence, and resilience. Students learn the importance of nourishing their bodies with whole foods, enjoying fresh air and sunshine, limiting screen time, and practicing daily habits that support mental and physical health, all while moving, playing, and having fun.
