A note from Heather, our Center Director
Effective immediately, we will be allowing parent pick-up in our front lobby. Parents will be asked to enter through the door labeled ENTER, socially distance on the floor markers, and wear masks at all times while in the facility. Masks are available in our front entry way for your use.
We look forward to having you in our facility, but once again ask that you remain on the floor markers and stay in the front lobby.

I look forward to meeting all of you in the new year!

Club Programming
Every quarter, the staff plan new programming for our members to participate in.

Here is a schedule of activities members will be participating in:
Mondays: STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math)
Tuesdays and Fridays: Free choice activities within the room they are in.
Wednesdays: Yoga and Mindfulness
Thursdays: IM Successful
Virtual Learning Challenges? We can help!
Our Club staff are available to help your child(ren) with their virtual learning. We will be offering assistance in the areas of: Math, Social Studies, Science, Reading/Spelling, Mentoring, and Physical activity
from 9 am – 2 pm, Monday through Friday.

Staff will spend 25 minutes assisting your child, but you must book your appointment at least one hour ahead of time. Once your appointment is booked, you will receive a confirmation email with the link for the virtual session.
