All After School outside vendors and instructors have gone through interviews, reference checks, and background checks, and are supervised and evaluated by the Williamsburg Northside administrative team. The After School program will run Monday to Friday with days off when school is not in session. Most instructors will be full time Northside faculty members.
Monday- Little Chefs
In this class, children will safely explore the basics of cooking through child-friendly and appealing recipes and kitchen projects each week. Cooking engages young children's cognition in many ways, from following recipes to measuring ingredients and observing changes in states of matter. Additionally, this class will challenge their physical abilities as they cut, mix, pour, and lift. Best of all, it's fun and delicious! Every week, children will have hands-on, safely supervised, and developmentally appropriate experiences.
Tuesday- Science
Children will become super scientists in Super Sensory Science, where they will engage in a mix of sensory and scientific explorations each week! Exciting concepts like buoyancy, changing states of matter, chemical reactions, and more will be brought into the classroom. Through kinesthetic and tactile learning, children will engage with investigations in the most sensory ways possible.
Wednesday- Soccer with Born Kickers
Born Kickers offers children an engaging entry point to soccer and physical education through fun, action-packed sessions filled with active exercises. In these classes, children will practice and become familiar with basic motor skills essential to soccer, such as dribbling, passing, and shooting. They will also enjoy a fun introduction to organized athletics, learning the importance of teamwork, sportsmanship, and staying active. Each session is designed to be age-appropriate, ensuring that every child builds confidence and develops a love for the sport while improving their overall physical fitness.
Thursday- Art
The studio is a vibrant and creative space where children can embrace the messiness of art and discover their unique visual voices! Through open-ended exploration, they will be guided through process-based investigations, allowing them to make choices and experiment freely. As they engage with various art tools and concepts, children will become more familiar with their qualities and properties, developing a deeper understanding and appreciation for the artistic process. This nurturing environment encourages creativity, self-expression, and confidence, helping each child to flourish as an emerging artist.
