Our motto is “Helping your child find their inner genius.”
We achieve this by tailoring our program to the needs, goals, and management style of your school. The program is an extension of the school that provides self-guided learning through daily activities, a healthy snack, continued character building and mentor guided homework time.
From creative and constructive arts, to literacy and math, we plan to provide activities that enhance the child’s many interests. Using a variety of learning styles, we have the ability to offer activities including those focused on S.T.E.A.M. development, problem and inquiry based learning and real world child directed pursuits. We work alongside the teachers and the parents to provide an environment that will exceed expectations while never leaving the safety of school property.

She is now married with a child of her own and managing 2 locations of her new business.
