The Bright Spot

Description:

Join us for The Bright Spot Wonder Lab, an exciting Homeschool Enrichment Day designed for children ages 5-12 to explore, create, and have fun in an inclusive, welcoming environment. This dynamic, hands-on experience offers a mix of art, music and movement (provided monthly by Wildwood Music Therapy), STEM, drama, Spanish, and life skills, all taught by passionate instructors who celebrate and cultivate each child’s unique abilities while fostering a strong sense of community. It's the perfect way for children to discover new interests, develop new learning and skills, and build lasting memories and relationships with friends.

The Bright Spot Wonder Lab...

• welcomes family participation, but it is not required.
• is for children ages 5-12. Kids must be able to toilet independently and not be a safety risk to themselves or others (elopement, aggression, etc.).
• takes place on Mondays from 9am-1pm at The Bright Spot
• includes 4 field trips. The Bright Spot budgets $20 per Wonder Lab student per field trip. When the cost of a particular trip exceeds the allocated budget, families will be notified in advance to contribute the additional cost. Financial assistance is available if needed. All families are welcome to attend on field trip days or drop off/pick up at the field trip location. Field trips are typically scheduled during our regular Wonder Lab hours (9:00–1:00). However, exact start and end times may vary slightly based on the destination’s availability. Families will be notified in advance of any schedule adjustments for field trip days.
• provides all needed supplies and materials. Kids just need to bring a lunch, morning snack, afternoon snack, and water bottle each day.
• if we have to miss days for weather, instructor illness, or any other circumstances that prevent us from meeting, a refund of $25 a day per child will be issued to families.
• does not provide refunds for missed days for illness, etc. for coop families due to budgeting for supplies/materials, meeting space, field trips, staff, guest instructors, etc.
• will play outside and get messy often, so dress accordingly with shoes and clothes that can get dirty. It also helps to have shoes that can be slipped on and off easily because we go outside multiple times a day.
