A Day in the Lab:
Where Curiosity Meets Discovery
🔍Arrival & Daily Spark
AM Session: 9:30 - 10:00 AM
PM Session: 12:45 - 1:00 PM
The adventure begins the moment they step through the door! We kick off each lab with a “Spark” - an immersive hook designed to ignite immediate curiosity. Whether it’s a riddle to solve, a mysterious artifact to observe, or a “crime scene” to investigate in our Fairytale Court, discovery begins immediately.
💡The Lab Deep-Dive
AM Session: 10:00AM-12:00PM
PM Session: 1:00PM - 3:00PM
We launch with a whole-group introduction before rotating through our high-engagement learning centers:
• The Mentor Studio (Teacher Center): Small-group, personalized academic coaching. Whether we are mastering ruler measurements at the Mathlete’s Olympics or diving into fractions, we break down complex skills with hands-on support tailored to each child’s level.
• The Collaboration Hub (Peer Work): Students build social-emotional mastery through game-based learning. In our Around the World in 72 Hours lab, pairs might navigate coordinate points on a map or plot landmarks across global territories.
• The Discovery Studio (Sensory-Based Inquiry): A sensory-rich independent zone. In our Candy Lab, students might use their sense of smell to design new flavor profiles or use gummy bears to create 3D production graphs. This is where “doing” turns into “understanding.”
Group Wrap-Up: We conclude rotations by coming together for a final team challenge—whether it's a jury deliberation, a "Candy Invention" pitch, or an Olympic obstacle course.
✍️ Reflection & Mastery
AM Session: 12:00 - 12:15PM
PM Session: 3:00 - 3:15PM
We close the Learning Lab with quiet moments for journaling and updating Mastery Portfolios. This ensures the day's discoveries are captured and celebrated.
🚗 Dismissal & Valet Exit
AM Session: 12:15 - 12:30PM
PM Session: 3:15 - 3:30PM
• The Valet Exit: Parents can simply pull up; we will walk your learner directly to your vehicle for a seamless transition.
• Final Pick-up: All half-day students must be picked up by 12:30 PM (AM Session) or 3:30 PM (PM Session/Full Day).
• Full-Day Transition: Students staying for the full day enjoy a supervised break for hand-washing and restrooms before lunch begins at 12:30 PM. Weather permitting, we enjoy a picnic-style lunch on the lawn!
