Our before- and after-school programs spark joy, confidence, and growth, turning extra time into opportunity through creative learning, caring relationships, and skill-building rooted in resilience.
Focus on Resilience
We believe resilience is learned.
All children deserve connection, challenge, and joy. Our programs help children build the resilience they need to thrive in school and in life.
Cultivate Mastery
We celebrate effort, learning, and growth. Whether learning a new skill or building confidence through hands-on projects, we honor progress and help each child take pride in their growth.
Inspire Independence
We encourage agency, initiative, and responsibility in our students and in our team. Our staff and students gain voice and confidence when they make decisions, lead activities, and solve problems. Our programs give space to practice responsibility, take initiative, and learn from experience.
Build Belonging
We believe people thrive when they know they are valued and part of something bigger than themselves. Every child should feel safe, seen, and supported. Through warm welcomes, daily circles, and strong relationships, we create a culture where everyone feels connected and part of something meaningful.
Practice Generosity
We center kindness, camaraderie, and mentorship in the day-to-day moments. Children learn the power of helping others, working together, and giving back. Staff model compassion and collaboration in everything they do.
Rooted in Community, Designed for Growth
We co-create enriching programs with schools and families—aligning with your values while building belonging, confidence, and connection.
Families
Families are central to a thriving community. We offer a safe place and a caring environment where your child builds the skills and relationships to thrive socially, emotionally, and academically.
Communities
Our programs are built with and for your community. Every child belongs. All families are welcome. We ensure access, inclusion, and dignity for all.
Learning That Builds Resilience
From morning routines to summer adventures, every Innovation Learning program helps children grow through exploration, structure, and joyful learning.
Before and After School
We turn the hours before and after school into the Five-Hour Advantage, a time for connection, creativity, and growth that supports academics, social-emotional skills, and well-being.
Summer Programs
Even when school is out, learning continues. Our summer programs blend fun, enrichment, and academic support to help children grow stronger and more confident each day.
Early Childhood
Through structure, play, and positive routines, our youngest learners build foundational skills and a sense of belonging that makes school feel familiar and exciting. Our early childhood education programs make the transition to school easier.
Enrichment
Children explore, imagine, and problem-solve through hands-on projects that spark curiosity and build mastery, helping them apply learning in real and joyful ways. Our enrichment programs make education more engaging and motivating, encouraging students to strive for their best.
Academic Support
We meet each learner where they are, using research-based tools and caring relationships to help them regain confidence, close gaps, and build toward success. Our academic recovery programs help kids get and stay on track.
What sets Innovation Learning apart? We are your partners. Built by educators, our programs are co-created with schools to reflect their values and meet the needs of their students. Through joyful learning, caring relationships, and intentional structure, we help children grow strong inside and out.
Educator-Founded
Our team includes experienced principals, teachers, and youth development leaders. We bring classroom insight and whole-child expertise to every partnership.
Joyful, Hands-On Learning
Children develop mastery and creativity through project-based activities that bring learning to life, from STEM to storytelling, from movement to making.
Programs Built With You
No two schools are the same. We design custom-fit programs that reflect your goals for academic support, school climate, and student success.
Whole-Child, Resilience-Based Approach
Every session is built to support the four pillars of resilience—Belonging, Mastery, Independence, and Generosity—helping each child grow academically, emotionally, and socially.
Enrichment That Builds Confidence
From Innovation Stations to creative clubs, our enrichment experiences nurture curiosity, critical thinking, and connection, preparing children to thrive in and beyond the classroom.
