Why  Wicked Cool?

Wicked Cool for Kids provides on-site customized enrichment programs for elementary and middle school kids that are affordable to a wide range of parents.  Our clients range from recreation departments and schools to other community-based organizations.
We offer complete hands-on programs that extend learning beyond the school day and beyond the school year.  Our comprehensive programs are managed locally in a haul-in/haul-out, leave no trace, soup-to-nuts format that challenges kids to investigate their world through science, art, and technology.
We base our programs on three fundamental principles - learning, fun, and safety.
Every member of our program staff is background-checked and trained in both curriculum and safety procedures.  We work closely with our clients to follow every protocol to safeguard the children in our care.
Our curriculum is structured around an experiential environment where we engage kids in challenging activities.
Our staff are encouraged to be kid-centered rather curriculum-centered, so that kids are always stimulated and on task at their own level and pace.  Our model of instruction is based on this activity-based fun atmosphere.
We offer a wide selection of year-round after school programs as well as vacation programs.  We add new topics every season so that all our clients, whether new or longstanding, can always find something fresh to offer kids.  Our after-school programs typically stand apart from other activities but can be integrated into school and extended-day programs.


We have been serving kids since 2007 in partnership with over 60 clients.  Another way to think of it  - we’ve provided brain stimulation for more than 3000 kids since we began.

During our four years in business, we have continuously measured our programs against our mission of bringing high-quality, affordable, kid-friendly programs to local communities.

We look at levels of engagement in our classes, take feedback from clients, kids, and parents, and try to find efficiencies that improve program quality,  This school year we have made some changes as a result of our research.  We think our tweaks will take our program quality another step forward and will increase satisfaction levels for parents and kids alike.  This will lead more kids to enroll in the programs that we deliver with you as our partner in the community.

For summer 2011 there is a selection of nine different week-long programs to choose from.  Summer programs are offered in a full and/or half-day format.  We offer up to four hours of science-focused activities each day, which are complemented by free-choice activities and outside play.  Last year, 80% of our summer staff were certified classroom teachers.  Summer is a great time to reinforce learning.  At Wicked Cool For Kids, we know kids love to learn!
