Time set aside during the day for individualized lessons with a parent and curriculum work in the main subjects. Younger siblings may enjoy the play space or practical skill area with a Buds membership. It’s our community goal to keep this time respectfully reserved for learning. Voices should be kept low, and play should be non-rowdy. 

Club members can request lessons on the different stations in the practical skill area from typewriting, needle felting, sewing, wonder cabinet, library, and our “open invitation” learning table which changes out periodically. 

Not a formal class, but an offering. Children may sign up for 10 minutes slots in the music area to practice a piano lesson, improvise, or explore some auxiliary instruments in the space. 

Learn all about different sports, from Baseball to Soccer and everything in between. Your gnome will learn a little about the history of the game, the rules, how they are played, as well as good sportsmanship.
