Frequently Asked Questions
who will be teaching the courses?
All of our teachers are fully credentialed, background checked, and have experience working with children of all ages. Visit Our Team page to see teacher bios.
What curriculum do you use?

If i enroll in a single day, will my child miss Material?
No, if you are enrolled in a single program day, you will not miss material. The lessons are not a continuation of prior days. Topics will likely be the same within the week, but the lessons are different for each age group and day.

Our classes are currently computer free for students. We primarily focus on hands-on activities. We do use projectors and supplemental videos/clips that pertain to the topics being discussed in our classes. At recess, movement videos (yoga, dance, etc) are occasionally used.

As an enrichment program, we do not cover phonics in our classes. However, we do have resources available to assist with this. Please see our Camps & Clubs tab for available resources.
