Welcome to our Afternoon Homeschool Enrichment Program
Our Afternoon Enrichment Program expands upon our holistic approach by offering families flexible enrollment options of 2, 3, 4, or 5 days per week. Designed for children ages 4–7 years old, this drop-off program runs Monday through Friday from 12:30 PM to 3:00 PM and provides a warm, engaging space where purposeful learning and joyful play come together.
Each afternoon follows a steady rhythm that helps children feel confident and secure while giving them the freedom to explore, collaborate, and create. Children participate in hands-on, project-based experiences—such as engineering challenges, storytelling circles, art and sensory invitations, practical life tasks, and community service projects—that naturally build literacy, math, problem-solving, executive functioning, and social-emotional skills.
Throughout the year, students work on meaningful initiatives like appreciation projects, donation drives, and acts of service that help them develop empathy, leadership, and a sense of personal contribution. With guidance from experienced educators and occasional visits from real community helpers, children grow into confident thinkers, compassionate friends, and curious lifelong learners.
Afternoon Enrichment Program
Our Afternoon Enrichment program is designed for our older children who are ready for deeper thinking, meaningful collaboration, and extended project work. Each afternoon is structured to support academic growth, creative expression, confidence building, and strong social connections. Children engage in purposeful, hands-on learning that stretches their skills while honoring their independence and voice.

Multi-Step Art Projects

Students dive into multi-day art experiences inspired by techniques, materials, and artist studies. These projects require planning, persistence, and creativity, allowing children to explore advanced artistic processes at their own pace.

Project-Based Academics
-
Academic learning happens through meaningful, real-world projects that integrate reading, writing, geography, math, and science. These projects are intentionally designed to blend multiple subjects at once, giving children engaging, hands-on experiences that make learning purposeful, connected, and easy to apply in everyday life.

-
STEM Learning
-
Children explore science, technology, engineering, and math through hands-on experiments, building challenges, design tasks, and real-world problem-solving. STEM invitations encourage critical thinking, innovation, and curiosity as children test ideas, create solutions, and engage in meaningful investigation.

-
Practical Life Skills

Afternoons include opportunities to build real, everyday life skills through hands-on experiences. Children prepare simple foods, follow recipes, practice safe kitchen routines, learn basic sewing and mending techniques, and take part in practical tasks that foster independence, confidence, and responsibility.
Independent Social Time
Each day includes space for children to take charge of their learning. They select from peer-led activities, games, creative challenges, and building opportunities—strengthening independence, problem-solving, leadership, and social confidence.
