Class Overview:  LEAP4Kidz classes are an integrated learning program offering introduction to a variety of topics using Lego bricks as a learning tool to foster thought and creativity.  The class hour is structured in 3 parts: Lesson of the day discussion with the whole class; Project model building from a provided planogram completed in pairs; Creative free play (“Master Builder”) time. Children are required to engage in all parts of class.  Children are not allowed to opt out of one section without opting out of the class for the day.

Lego is used for demonstrative and learning purposes.  The goal isn’t to create a complex model or follows a series of directions, but to think about the learning topic for the day using a hand-on project.  The complexity of the building varies from model to model as is necessary to demonstrate the larger topic of discussion.  The goal of each class is to get kids thinking about “how they would do it”.  Not every child will complete the class build each time.  The education is in the process.  Children will be challenged to problem solve, create, and find solutions themselves.  Children will also be asked to help each other and work collaboratively. Each child will have a different learning style and level of skill in problem solving.

Camp Overview:  Camp is structured depending on the type of camp.  All camps have team creation and sharing as a key component of the curriculum.  Kids will work in pairs or teams to create and problem solve.   Sharing and working well within a group is a necessary requirement.  There is not an option for children to be given solo materials if they are unable to work with the group.  Movie Making and Robotics will utilize laptops, webcams, software, and potentially the Internet to teach the curriculum.  Children are required to engage in all parts of class.  Children are not allowed to opt out of one section without opting out of the camp for the day.  Children that have difficulty with sharing will be given time outs and it is the child's responsibility for missed camp time.

Class/Camp specifics:

• All builds are unique.
• Use of supplies and materials are included in the class fee and are provided by LEAP.
• Children will receive a handout of the day’s build and learning topic.
  • Classes meet hourly, one day/week.  Camps meet per specified sessions.

• If class is canceled due to a school closure, there is no refund and make up sessions will be made on a case by case basis.
  • Children ages 4-12 may be in the same classroom due to our learning approach.
  • We do not pick up children from their classroom.  It is the responsibility of the child, parent, and/or school for the child to get to the class location.  This varies from school to school.

Late fees:

Late fees will be made payable directly to the teacher that was present for class via Venmo at the time of pickup.

Children not picked up within 60 minutes will be taken to the local Police Station.
