Founder and owner Megan Allen was a guest on The Parenting Playbook, discussing tutoring options for families and parents. Give it a look-see and let us know how we can help your kid grow and learn.

Has your science-loving-kid ever dissected a (plastic) bat or a (real!) flower? They can do that next Monday! We have just 3 spots left in All About Bats from 9-12 and 8 spots left in Flower Power: Botany + Art next week on October 12. Held at the lovely and cozy and lead by certified teachers, these are fun + enriching + just the right amount of October creepiness!

Watch a big idea click into place. 🧩
Hands-on geometry and math is where kids stop memorizing shapes and start playing with them. This is the kind of learning we love at The Community Classroom. Great game and lesson, Jan! XO
