Before you begin any of our programs, we ask you to sign up for an interview to get to know not only you but your child/family member who would like to participate in our clubs. After filling out the interest form below, we will reach out to set up an initial meeting and trial class to give you further details.
Lego Club
Ages: all ages; students will be split into groups of similar grade level
At Lego Club, students will be working with 2 to 3 teammates to build an age appropriate Lego set together. As the name "club" implies, students will be expected to come on a weekly basis to develop social skills and friendships. Additionally, students will be able to work on communication skills through modeling of the teachers and other peers while increasing motor skills and dexterity. Students will initially start with the staff to peer ratio of 1:1 or 1:2 base on Lego and communication skill level determine during initial interview.
As students progress, they will have developed more independence with the staff to peer ratio of 1:4 up to 1:8. They will also build bigger and more complicated Lego sets, with the end goal of designing and create their own Lego creation.
Artist Club
Age: all ages; students will take classes with similar grade level peers
At Artist Club, students will be working through different forms of Art Media whether that be air dry clay, oil pastels, dance, or even music! The assortment of classes from the Artist Club will be different per age group, each group being limited to maximum 10 students with the staff to peer ratio around 1:3. Artist Club will require consistent attendance from students.
Students will be developing creativity and motor skills as they create their artwork or through movement/dance classes.
As students progress, they will be able to increase independence as they begin to create more artwork with their own creative ideas.
Sports Club
Age: all ages; students will be split into groups of similar grade level
At Sports Club, students will get to explore different physical recreations such as lacrosse, baseball, soccer, basketball, and many others! The range of skills taught will vary among each age group with every group consisting of 2 to 4 students. Students will start with the staff to peer ratio of 1:1 or 1:2 and build up to ratios of 1:4 as they become more familiar with their selected sport.
Students will be able to increase their knowledge about a plethora of sports and build self confidence. They will learn important social skills such as teamwork, patience, and perseverance. Through consistent attendance and practice, students will be able to progress and grow their athletic ability with their chosen sport(s).
