Our Learning & Discovery program is a fee-based after-school offering, providing enriching experiences in a safe, affordable environment. We host programs for eleven elementary schools and award scholarships to financially disadvantaged students. We also offer a range of summer programs that inspire learning, exploration, and engagement.
Programs feature activities tailored to each school’s unique needs, developed in collaboration with school leadership, staff, and students. Through these initiatives, we’re fostering academic growth and creating stronger, more vibrant educational communities.
Students are assigned to groups of approximately 15, based on similar grade levels. Due to high demand for the program, space is limited.
Our L&D program operates each afternoon that school is in session from school dismissal until 6 pm. We follow all Virginia licensing requirements.
