Early Scholars Readiness Program

The Early Scholars Readiness Program is a thoughtfully designed afternoon enrichment program for children ages 4–6, supporting a confident and successful transition into school. This program nurtures early academic readiness while also strengthening social-emotional development, curiosity, and a love of learning.

Mondays & Wednesdays from 1:00pm-4:00pm

Through inquiry-based exploration, hands-on learning, and creative expression, children build strong foundations in literacy, numeracy, science, fine motor development, and the arts. Small-group experiences and guided activities encourage children to think critically, communicate effectively, and develop independence in a supportive, engaging environment.
