For students in grades K-2 during the 2022-2023 school year.

Program Includes:

• Bus transportation to NCNC from the 3 NCPS Elementary Schools

• Sustainable nature STEAM activities

Nature STEAM Activity:

All New Canaan Nature Center After School participants will enjoy a daily 30-60 minute nature STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, Math) activity.

Indoor Quiet Time:

Monday through Friday, a quiet time is set aside for all children to do homework. We provide staff assistance and guidance when needed, but are not responsible for your child’s education, completion of assignments, or understanding of their subject matter. We encourage children to engage in other quiet activities such as reading, nature crafts, and puzzles, should no homework be assigned.
