Fall is here, and it’s the time of the year to make your final decisions for your child’s after-school program. The options — from swimming to 3D-printing classes to everything in-between — can be intimidating and overwhelming. How are you to make the right choice when time is of the essence?

Evolution Enrichment Center, located on the Lower East Side, believes that kids learn best through hands-on, sensory experiences. Our signature after-school program features cooking, visual arts, creative writing, theater, science, music, and much more. Our methodology and teaching techniques not only reinforce what students learn in a pre-K program, but also fulfill creative interests that might not be met in today’s average preschool.

Designed to amplify creativity, confidence, and curiosity, and to develop a love of lifelong learning, the classes strive to:

Encourage youngsters to express themselves in the written word: Through a safe, supportive, and fun environment, children will write short stories, poetry, haiku, and non-fiction pieces. All students will create their own “Today I Am” book. Our classes will feature a directed writing prompt, in addition to storytelling games, to provide a springboard for creativity and experimentation. Young writers are given the chance to read their work aloud — a great step toward building public speaking confidence and an opportunity to share feelings and ideas, however silly or serious, with peers.

Form a hands-on lifestyle class: Children learn how to take care of their bodies, what happens during a doctor’s check-up, how to properly brush their teeth, and how to create a “Rainbow Foods” wheel, a fun way to remind families about eating from the whole spectrum of fruits and veggies!

Bring nature to city living: As part of our after-school program, students learn about a seed’s multifaceted life and then decorate and plant their own herb gardens — a fun way to stay green while bringing a bit of science into the kitchen.

Encourage creativity in our wardrobe: Fashion’s historical trends, from flappers to flower girls, are explored and used as artful inspiration for young designers’ own sartorial expressions in carefully crafted, teacher-led projects, showcased in our annual holiday spectacular!

Evolution’s after-school program is designed for kids to learn and play. Our goal is simple: to unlock individuality and potential through exploration, creativity, and acceptance. Based on traditional teaching philosophies, but with a modern understanding of today’s urban child, we believe in inspiring both children and families through experiential community engagement. Within every child is a light. It is our job to help them shine. The after-school program at Evolution Enrichment Center is open to enrolling children from other schools as well.

Evolution Enrichment Center is located at 38 Delancey St. between Forsyth and Eldridge Sts., on the Lower East Side. For more information  call 212-375–9500 or visit EvolutionEnrichment.com .
