Open Play Included

Our classes begin with 30 minutes of open play in our play space to give families time to transition and a little breathing room if they are running late. This also allows families to connect in a more unstructured way.

Learning Through Play

Our play-based classes each feature a different STEM topic designed to engage children’s curiosity. Children are natural scientists and we invite them to explore class activities at their own pace and follow their own interests.
