Sample classes.

Four parts, every day

  • Arrival and snack

    A staff member greets each child at the door, signs them in and points them to the snack table. A simple snack opens every afternoon: fruit, crackers, cheese or yogurt, with water.

  • Homework help

    Two tables run side by side, one in Spanish and one in English. A child sits where the homework feels easiest to start, and an adult who speaks both languages sits with them. If your child is stuck on something, we leave you a note.

  • Activity hour

    A different activity each day: gym games on Monday, hand drums and dance on Tuesday, the art table on Wednesday, a reading circle in both languages on Thursday and free choice on Friday.

  • Pickup window

    From 5:15 p.m. children play freely while adults arrive. Each adult signs the child out at the front table, and a staff member says how the afternoon went, in Spanish or English.
