Mondays

Art Lab (3:30 - 4:15)

Children are invited to explore a variety of materials and create art. The projects in this class take a process-based approach and are designed to introduce children to lots of creative materials, sensory experiences, and visual arts.

Cooking Class (4:30 - 5:15)

Pass the pepper please! This culinary creativity class is perfect for your foodie! While we experiment with preparing and cooking our own food, we'll also work on etiquette and social skills. Each class uses a fun story to connect a kitchen skill (chopping, peeling, mixing, measuring, whisking, experimenting, etc) with an eating experience. For example, we’ll read Plátanos Are Love by Alyssa Reynoso-Morris and learn all about bananas and plantains. We’ll cut, chop, and fry bananas and plantains to learn that these fruits can be eaten at all stages of growth - green, unripe, and cooked; ripe and raw; and cooked. These are called tostones and maduros! Then, just as in the story, we’ll make our own family recipe books.

Wednesday

Keyboard with Piano Playtime (30 minute classes between 3:30 - 5:30)*  

*Piano classes at RSK North St with Piano Playtime. Once we have enough students to create a new small group, we will direct you to register directly with Piano playtime, but this will be a class placeholder for the time being. Just for students at afterschool in RSK North St. Classes will be 30 mins each with 2-3 students in each group.

Thursday

Spanish (3:30 - 4:15)

Our world language programs are full-immersion language classes that run on an ongoing monthly basis. We integrate fun play-based activities, and a unique environment of learning to create a powerful and effective language experience. With the innovative Yak Academy curriculum, we introduce practical themes and design lessons that are age-appropriate, fun, and filled with games, songs, and arts & crafts. At-home papers with each theme’s target language words, songs, and activities are provided to extend the learning outside of the classroom.

Friday

Science Explorers (3:30 - 4:15)

Science Explorers classes encourage children to have fun while they are observing, hypothesizing, experimenting and reflecting about their world. We offer a variety of themes including: Engineering: Things that Fly, Chemistry: Kitchen Science, Secret Agent Science as well as Force & Motion and Electricity & Magnetism. The STEM preschool classes combines our structured science curriculum with our maker space, a place for our young engineers to design and build with the proper adult support. Many of our themes are designed around student’s interests and abilities, allowing for child-led projects and explorations. Classes are ongoing throughout the school year and enrollment is always open if space allows.
