Program Details

The Cre8ive Zone aftercare program gives children in K – 5^th grade the opportunity to make friends, learn, and have fun in a safe and nurturing environment. The program provides children the opportunity to learn advance concepts in science, technology, engineering and arts. In addition to our superb science curriculum, children will have the opportunity to join our science club. Science club members participate in projects that will be submitted in local and national science competitions.

We offer a STEM/STEAM environment, healthy snack, homework help, caring teachers, and outdoor activities. Although our program is structured, we provide varieties in the After School program with our rotating schedule. Students may also attend on a drop-in basis. (Please notify the Elementary School Personnel on the day you plan to ‘drop-in’)
