Afternoon Program

Welcome to “Explorers in Action”!
Join us in a world where young minds embark on exciting adventures, engaging in thematic explorations that spark curiosity and foster growth. Our “Explorers in Action” Afterschool Programs are designed for children aged 3 to 6 years, offering a dynamic environment where learning and play go hand in hand.

Inspired by Hedgie, our playful and curious mascot, we’ve crafted each session to align with the values of adaptability, curiosity, friendship, and playfulness. Children will dive into themed classes that not only entertain but also nurture essential life skills, preparing them for their future endeavors.

Program Philosophy

At Hedgie’s Huddle, we believe in the power of thematic learning to ignite curiosity and foster holistic development. Each session is thoughtfully designed to engage children in activities that promote exploration and social connections, all while embracing the core values inspired by Hedgie.

Through these afterschool programs, we aim to provide a balanced experience where children can learn, play, and grow within a supportive community. Our focus on small group settings ensures that each child receives individualized attention, fostering a deeper connection with the material and their peers.
