Enrichments & Clubs
In 1989 we began our enrichment program to give children the time, the materials, and the space to pursue their interests, while deepening friendships beyond the classroom. A selection of enrichments are built into each class’s regular schedule. These are created, developed and taught by our leadership team.
We also offer After-School Clubs 2-3 times per week. With Clubs, children extend their day, socialize with friends, go deeper in an area of interest, and engage in playful learning. Some Clubs are offered as year-long experiences, while others are pop up Clubs offered as a limited series.
Current Offerings
Young Scientists
Children love to explore and discover new things. In Young Scientists, children engage in hands-on activities and experiments, which allow them to predict, observe, and then form a conclusion based on their experiences. Some areas we explore include gravity, air, magnets, friction, light, and shadows.
Ooey Gooey Art
Get ready for a fun, sensory approach to art! At Ooey Gooey Art, our materials stimulate the senses as children glue, cut, paint, collage, drip and fold. The 3s delight in exploring a variety of textures, materials, color, and artistic processes.
Team Elmwood
Team Elmwood builds confidence, coordination, stamina, and a love of sports and classic Elmwood games. Children practice fundamental skills such as throwing, kicking, catching, trapping, running, balance, and game strategy, while being part of a team. See you on the playing field!
Drama
Puppet shows, stories, and songs fill our sessions with creative fun. Everyone has an opportunity to choose the part they want when we act out stories and play drama games. Sure enough, after each story, poem, or nursery rhyme, the children say, ‘again, again!” and then get to play a different part.
Young Artists
Children learn about art through the ages. Each week we invite them to carefully look at elements of art and design, while viewing works. After, they enjoy creating their own “masterpieces” using a variety of materials.
Tuesdays, 2:30-4:00
Spanish
With Smart Linguists, children are part of a small, dynamic, nurturing class, learning Spanish through experience. We sing, play games, move, and follow predictable routines so children can use their emerging language skills. Our low teacher-to-student ratio ensures each child gets individualized attention.
Thursdays, 2:30-4:00
Explorers Club
Welcome to Explorers Club–where curiosity leads the way! Designed for young adventurers, this joyful, hands-on club blends outdoor learning with mindful moments and nature-based creativity. We’ll get our hands dirty, ask big questions, and discover the joy in small things. Let’s explore together!
Fall Session: Sept. 15- Nov. 10 2:30-4:00
