What families say
Speech & Drama
The Speech & Drama program was excellent. My child enjoyed it very much, and the collaborative team sessions made the experience especially engaging.
Robotics
The Robotics program built on my child’s interest through creative, hands-on projects that applied their robotics knowledge. The regular feedback was very helpful, and I could see the program strengthening my child’s confidence. We are also happy that we can continue with the next level.
Puppetry
My daughter loves bringing home the crafts she creates during each Puppetry session and is always so proud of what she has made. I especially appreciate the variety of materials she gets to explore through her artwork.
Future Creators Summer Camp
Summer loved the camp and wants to go every day. She even said it was better than Disney – that's saying something.
Around the World Summer Camp
Emily truly enjoyed the camp: many countries, their traditions, and robotics. Teacher Evyn did a wonderful job, and I have already recommended this camp to my friends.
Around the World Summer Camp
Being able to speak in their own words was a fantastic experience for the children. Mr. Evyn was incredibly enthusiastic and gave them freedom to express themselves.
