Afternoon Adventures:
After-School Enrichment at Morningside
We are pleased to continue partnering with Discovery Programs, Chickadee Yoga, and our own Laura Folque for our Spring 2025 semester of Afternoon Adventures, our extended-day enrichment series!
Available to our Early Childhood Program students, these fabulous extracurricular classes are supplemental to our school-day curriculum. Sign up for all days or pick and choose.
Programs will run from 4:30 PM - 5:30 PM.
Students who dismiss at 12:30, 1:30 or 3:30 are welcome to extend their day at Morningside until 4:30 on the day of their Afternoon Adventure - this will be billed at a $25/hour per diem rate.
Students who dismiss at 4:30 are all set to go right into an Afternoon Adventure!
Tuition is non-refundable and non-transferrable. If your child misses the school day due to illness, they will not be able to join for the Afternoon Adventure that day.

In Discovery Programs’ gymnastic classes, your child will learn how much focus, practice and dedication it takes to master a skill and the joy and pride it brings to ‘own’ it! Give your child the pleasure of a great physical workout that will leave them smiling and feeling relaxed and good. Gymnastics give children more confidence in their bodies and movement, and helps them know their ability to master other physical challenges. It builds strength in their arms, chests, backs, legs, and core, while building bone density during the ages when it is important to do it to protect you later in life.
Class will be held at Discovery Programs in the basement of the Ansche Chesed building.
16 sessions
At least 5 children must sign up for this program to proceed.
Spring tuition: $1105

Chickadee Yoga's Yoga Adventures center around fun and engaging yoga and mindfulness practices for young children. Chelsea, a former Montessori teacher, weaves science and technology themes into the adventures, encouraging the children's curiosity and love of learning. Through yoga poses, breathing practices, interactive games, and partner work, the children will practice gross motor and self-regulation skills necessary for executive functioning. Through exploration, story, and play, they will practice the social and emotional skills needed throughout one's life.
