Friday Extracurriculars

Our Friday Extracurriculars program gives children the opportunity to explore, create, move, and discover different areas of learning, including Art, Physical Education, Spanish, STEAM, and Music.

Each Friday, children rotate through these specialty classes, experiencing hands-on activities designed to encourage curiosity, creativity, movement, problem-solving, and self-expression.

Our classes are child-centered and hands-on, following the Montessori principles that guide our enrichment program. Children are encouraged to participate at their own pace, explore new interests, and build confidence in a supportive learning environment.
