Mondays

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.

Tuesdays

Art (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.

RSKids Business Lab (4:30 - 5:15)

RSKids Business Lab for children ages 5–7 introduces young creators to the basics of starting and running their own small business! Children will brainstorm ideas, create crafts and products like lemonade and handmade goods, practice budgeting and marketing, and work together to plan how to sell their creations at local craft fairs, RSK events, and special end-of-session sales. Through hands-on projects, kids will build creativity, confidence, teamwork, and real-world problem-solving skills while learning that their ideas can become something amazing. Classes are ongoing throughout the school year and enrollment is always open if space allows.

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

Cooking Class (3:30-4:15)

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.
