During the School Year

The school offers an afternoon adventures program Monday through Friday from 12:00-3:00PM for children being dropped off and 11:45-3:00 for children who are in morning class.  During this program, children will be engaged in science, math, language arts, dramatic play, and outdoor activities. The curriculum will be theme-based where children will develop social, emotional, cognitive, fine, and gross motor skills. Children attending Afternoon Adventures will bring their lunch and a water bottle. A quiet period is provided.

Afternoon Adventures is open to all Coop children and morning Kindergartners in the local school systems. Siblings and the general public may attend if space is available. All paperwork must be on file and current to attend.

In order for a child to attend Enrichment/Afternoon Adventures, parents must sign the sheet located on the bulletin board by the playground door. Sign-up sheets are posted at the end of Friday’s class, two weeks in advance. Parents can also call school in the morning to see if space is available.
