Early Childhood & Youth Recreation

Early Childhood & Youth Recreation classes and workshops are developed to meet the needs of each child from the early years through elementary grades . They provide youth in our community with a safe and fun environment to create , engage , explore , build relationships , and challenge themselves . Taught by professionally trained teachers with several years of experience in the field , these programs focus on providing a fun and safe place to meet new friends and learn new skills .

Our After School Enrichment program at Everett School allows children to enjoy recreational activities in a safe caring environment . Each week will include exploration through art , athletics , science exploration , STEM , and cooking . We look forward to extending the day ( and the play !) for working families in our community .
