At MeadowLab, mornings are for building strong foundations in reading, writing, and math, and afternoons are for projects, studio work, and time outside, all guided by our educators and paced to each kid.

MeadowLab Experience 〰️
Monday to Thursday, 8:30 AM to 3:30 PM, and Friday, 8:30 AM to 12:30 PM, with flexible drop-off and pick-up in the first and last half hour.
Defined Mornings
Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays: After our welcome circle, kids work in focused 25-minute blocks of structured literacy and math, in small groups and one-on-one with educators, with snack time in between.
Wednesdays: The morning goes to hands-on science and structured inquiry, where kids build observation, testing, and data-collection skills.
Adaptive Afternoons
Mondays through Thursdays: After lunch, we open up to two offerings, drawn from our Reggio-inspired studio, project-based learning, and outdoor exploration, and each kid chooses where they want to spend their time.
Whichever they pick, they work with real tools and apply design thinking with educators guiding alongside them.
Enrichment Fridays
Fridays are half-days for hands-on enrichment, featuring rotating on-site workshops in culinary arts, music, studio craft, and science, along with occasional field trips to nearby nature reserves, parks, and local spots to foster community connection.
