In a place where lobsters and baseball are revered, where autumn leaves paint the landscape in magnificent hues, and where a certain tea party played a critical role in shaping history - there you'll find the magical state of Massachusetts. Nestled in the heart of New England, this state is not only home to some of the finest clam chowder and the world-renowned Boston Marathon, it's also a bustling hub of STEM/STEAM activity. Meet our friend, Gizmo the Geeky Grasshopper. Gizmo is no ordinary grasshopper, oh no! He sports a pair of funky glasses, carries a tiny beaker, and is often seen zooming across the state on his mini rocket-powered skateboard, visiting the numerous libraries, museums, and schools. Gizmo is all about STEM/STEAM. Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics are his partners in crime, and together they make learning a grand adventure for all the kids in Massachusetts. Gizmo and the kids are always up to something fun and educational. Whether they're coding a new video game, building miniature robots, or painting mathematical masterpieces, they are continually exploring ways to merge creativity, innovation, and problem-solving. Much like the state they live in, these kids are a blend of history and modernity, tradition and innovation. Together, they laugh, learn, and make the occasional explosion (all in the name of science, of course). And at the end of the day, they've made Massachusetts not just the birthplace of American liberty, but also a rising star in the universe of STEM/STEAM. So, if you ever find yourself in the midst of this buzzing hive of creativity, don't be surprised if you encounter a bunch of inspired kids, led by a geeky grasshopper, excitedly discussing their next big project!

At our school we offer two unique options for the academic year: Full-Day and Half-Day programs. The Full-Day program runs from 8:30am to 2:50pm, and the Half-Day program runs from 8:30-12:00. Both programs cover the same curriculum, but the extra time of the Full-Day program allows us to expand the curriculum further and provide our students with Unified Arts daily. We believe that families of students in the Half-Day program should take advantage of this additional time with their child to participate in activities that promote social, physical, and educational growth. Examples of such activities can include trips to the public library, storytime, and arts and craft projects that focus on developing fine motor skills.
Our program fosters an attitude of respect for others. We have standards for self-control and encourage children to express themselves in a healthy way and develop a sense of competence. We believe that self-expression is essential for a child's growth and development. We promote a cooperative spirit, and children learn to work together to solve problems and make decisions. We emphasize positive reinforcement, and strategies for problem solving and conflict resolution. We also encourage children to be creative and explore their own interests. At Happy Hours, children are given the opportunity to develop socially, emotionally, physically and intellectually. We provide a safe and nurturing environment to explore and learn. Through the use of our living and learning spaces, children can work on a variety of tasks and projects. We provide a variety of activities and materials to engage the children in meaningful experiences. Our program is designed to meet the needs of each individual child, while also providing opportunities to learn and grow in a group setting. We strive to create an environment where children can develop into confident, well-adjusted individuals.
