Where Learning and Fun Connect, Children Succeed

All children should have access to quality learning and fun outside the classroom. Without ample opportunity for free play, children will flounder in their development. It’s our mission to provide children innovative ways to learn and play, and we do that through the development of safe, affordable, and fun programming.

Our Heartbeat

At the center of everything we do is our four core values. These guide our meetings, financial decisions, programming choices, and everything else. We believe these values are necessary to build helpful holistic programming for the whole child.

We Thrive on Innovation

Our program builds an innovative mindset through creative problem-solving, critical thinking, collaboration and active communication among peers.

We Promote Well-being

Our program motivates every child's mind, body and spirit. We embrace a holistic approach to our program, supporting healthy bodies and minds for students.

We Value Community

Our sites reflect the community's needs, desires and wants where every student, parent, teacher and administrator has a voice and a choice in their program.

Learning is Fun!

Our curriculum engages children in inspiring activities, promoting learning in a fun way. Children grow through play, exploration, experimenting and building connections with others.

Your Education Program Design Experts

We partner with schools and community groups to provide before and after school programs, summer programs, and special opportunity programs.

We account for the diverse needs of schools by offering flexibility and choice. Every school we partner with is invited to work alongside us to build their own schedule and unique program they can be proud of.

The programs we provide are truly yours.

Start Your Innovative School Program

Partnership

Before getting started we’ll perform a needs analysis while aligning values. No two programs are the same and every organization gets personalized attention and curation. This is also the time we’ll develop a right-sized scope and create formal agreements.

Program Planning

Now that our partnership is established we’ll build out scheduling, engage your community, and hire a dedicated team. During this step, your program will begin to take shape as we curate the perfect program for you.

Training

We don’t leave our partners high and dry. Instead, we help train your team with ongoing learning and development with customizable curriculum that matches the values and needs of your organization.

Launch

Once your programs are stood up we help organize community events while providing open communication, operational support, and customer service. Your program is your own, but we offer support through it all.

The 5 Hour Solution

At Innovation Learning, we offer a customizable solution that directly supports your community’s mission, vision, and values. Armed with the whole-child in mind, we support academic growth, social-emotional programming, and recreational activities in a safe nurturing environment. Imagine a partner who closely listens to your objectives and goals with students. An organization, who takes a potential 5 extra hours in a day to support and develop the whole child. All of which adds the equivalent of 125 extra school days annually. Imagine the possibilities for your students’ growth. You do not have to imagine any longer. We are an organization that is filled with loving educators who provide the 5 hour solution.

Our team, composed of former educators, aligns with your mission and values, ensuring high-quality, personalized support for students.

Offering Students a Place to Learn and Grow

Engaging Families to Join in The Fun
