Little Explorers is a sensory and art based experience for children to explore their senses, art materials, and the world around them! Activities include but are not limited to exploring with painting, play dough, water play, collage & glue, sorting activities and more. Caretakers will observe and support your child while allowing them to follow their own pace through the experiences set up in class. Children can learn about their senses, practice fine motor skills, explore new art materials, plus have a chance to socialize with peers and exercise language skills. Starting in Fall 2026, we're excited to introduce a brand new toddler class: Book Art Play , held every Monday! This class features all-new activities and projects that are completely different from our Little Explorers programming. That means your child can attend both classes each week for twice the fun!

Physical Activity, Outdoor Time, Unstructured Play & Wellness are the prescription to Building Tomorrow's Leaders Today! We take a holistic view in helping your child grow! Physical Activity: organized games and team activities teach kids communication, leadership, and resilience in an organic setting Outdoor Time: humans are grounded in nature. Being outside helps regulate and restore kids' nervous systems, reset circadian rhythms, ward off illness and building immunity no matter the weather Unstructured Play: adult free, peer only play gives kids autonomy, choice, and down time. In a natural environment, kids learn effective communication, conflict resolution, and their like and dislikes. It's also essential for building self-esteem Wellness: global, community, and individual wellness is our focus. Kids have an opportunity to give back to the world, understand their impact, and that humanity extends beyond their own self. We take care of ourselves, our neighborhood, and the planet Our After School provides a pick-up from PS 78, PS 384, Gantry View School, and local school/fun bus stops for kids who attend different schools. The afternoon consists of free play, snack time, and activities. Monday & Fridays we have a survey of sports, Tuesdays & Thursdays are fitness class, focussing on movement skills and Wednesdays are our wellness day. Wellness Day includes food education, philanthropy, collective community, teamwork, and leadership. Parent pick-up is between 5-5:30 PM. Need a little extra time, register for our Walking Bus! We'll bring the kids to your home by 6 PM. Registration is for the entire semester. No cancellations, refunds, credits, or transfers. Please be sure to read our complete policies .
Toc Toc is a dynamic Spanish experience where children build language skills through conversation, projects, games, culture, creativity, and real interaction. Designed for children ages 5–8, our program helps students move beyond isolated vocabulary and start using Spanish in more meaningful ways. Through storytelling, music, movement, hands-on projects, collaborative games, cultural themes, reading, writing, and guided conversation, children build confidence understanding and expressing themselves in Spanish. Whether your child is a beginner, bilingual, or somewhere in between, our teachers meet them at their level and help them grow with structure, encouragement, and joy. We’re not a traditional tutoring program or worksheet-based class. Our curriculum is created by language educators and Montessori-trained teachers, with a research-informed approach that respects how children actually learn. Children learn languages best when they are engaged, curious, emotionally connected, and invited to use the language with purpose.
More than an afterschool class — Toc Toc is a language-rich space where children play, move, create, socialize, and naturally absorb Spanish through meaningful experiences. Designed for children ages 3–5, our program combines language learning, movement, music, hands-on exploration, storytelling, art, practical life activities, and guided social interaction. Children are welcomed at their own level of Spanish, whether they are beginners, bilingual, or somewhere in between. Instead of memorizing vocabulary or being pressured to “perform,” children build comprehension, confidence, and real connection with the language through repetition, play, and routine. Our curriculum is created by language educators and Montessori-trained teachers, with a research-informed approach that respects how young children actually learn. Children learn languages best through relationships, repetition, meaningful experiences, and emotional connection — and that’s exactly what Toc Toc is built around.
From children taking their first steps toward reading in Spanish to heritage speakers exploring chapter books and creative writing, every child receives individualized guidance at their own level. Through the Toc Toc Phonics approach, Montessori language materials, children's literature, storytelling, and creative writing, we foster both language development and a lifelong love of reading. Our curriculum is thoughtfully designed by Montessori Elementary educators with expertise in bilingual education, combining Montessori principles with research on child development and second-language acquisition.
