Here at Sundance, we recognize that busy parents can't always pick up their children at the end of the school day. As a result, we created our "Late Train" program for students to continue enjoying their time here until as late as 5:45pm! And that's not all - we added a huge variety of optional "Afterschool Adventures" specialty classes which make sure a student's afterschool experience as enriching as possible!

Our standard afterschool program, called "Late Train", is available for any student from 3-5:45pm for only $7.50/hour. Here, students can participate in outdoor play, enriching games, and other stimulating activities with their friends. Our afterschool teachers take excellent, loving care of every student, giving you the flexibility to pick them up when it is most convenient for you.

In addition to "Late Train", we offer "Afterschool Adventures" classes daily for an additional fee. These specialty classes are tailored to broaden the horizon of each student, and cover many areas of enrichment. Adventure classes are taught by experienced Sundance staff or outside educators pre-approved to teach at Sundance. All "Afternoon Adventure" classes are from 3:30-4:10, with the exception of Gecko Kids (3:30-4:30), Advanced Guitar (3:00-3:30), and Homework Club (4:00-4:30). Please see below for descriptions of each of our classes.
