  Research shows that childhood play is linked to coping skills and creativity, so we encourage our students to play after school! Supervised Play meets in the Primary and Pre-Primary classrooms at Laurel which are conveniently located near our beautiful playgrounds and spacious Multipurpose Room.

  
  

  Students have an after-school snack each day. They spend most of their afternoons outside or may go to a classroom, where they can read, do crafts, or play quiet games. Age-appropriate activities are facilitated by staff, including homework time as needed.

  
  

  Please note: We have returned to our previous pricing structure based on the number of days your child will attend each week of the semester. Any additional days a child attends in the course of a week will be considered a “drop-in” and a drop-in fee will apply.

  Snapology’s mission is to provide children an opportunity to engage in “playful learning” activities that will stimulate their creativity and spark an interest in learning. 
  
  

  Research has shown that many of children’s best learning experiences come when they are engaged not simply in interacting with materials, but in designing, creating, and inventing with them. Our classes are based coupon several strategies that have been shown to maximize learning through the use of various activities and technologies in creative, playful, and “learningful” ways.

This class is designed for children of all ages and building abilities to build together. Classes include free-building time to promote creativity.
  
  

  Brick Art and Design
  October 25- December 6, 2021 (no class November 22)

  Edgar Degas, a famous artist, once said, ‘Art is not what you see, but what you make others see.’ As your child learns about different types of art and the periods they were created, students will be interpreting what they see and creating their own works of art using LEGO bricks. Through Snapology’s interactive Art History class, children will learn about Da Vinci’s Mona Lisa, Van Gough’s Starry Night, Wright’s Falling Water, and many more!

  PRICING:
  $125 for grade-level sessions

  INSTRUCTORS: Shannon Lukz and Chuck Allen

  Adventure Girls(AG) was started in 2012 by Mrs. Lukz and Mr. Allen as a way for Third, Fourth and Fifth Grade girls to build resilience through challenging games and activities, promote health and improve fitness through adventure-packed programming. Participants also have many opportunities to develop their leadership and communication skills through group problem-solving tasks.
  
  

  Research shows many benefits to being exposed to “stress episodes” in building resilience and trust. Adventure Girls not only fills that role but also provides many opportunities for delivering humor, which proves to “convey intelligence…and confidence.”

  Leadership and adventure skills are developed in our Adventure Girls setting. AG is an excellent way for adventurous third, fourth, and fifth graders to sharpen both adventure, survival, and leadership skills.
  
  

  This year, we are offering sessions for each grade level and an additional multi-age session that will include a Friday “Late Night” at Butler.
  
  

  SESSION DATES BY GRADE(S):

  Grade 4: September 14, 21, 28
