After-School Care at SMARTS: Shaping Young Minds
Since 2011, SMARTS has provided elementary school students with programs that blend learning and fun in the Lanham area. Our after-school care is a safe, enriching spot for kids to explore academics and creativity. Serving Prince George's County, we focus on academics, performing arts, and fun activities.
Benefits of Our STEAM-Based Curriculum
Our curriculum sparks a love for learning with a STEM approach. We integrate science, tech, engineering, and math into daily activities. We mix hands-on activities with performing arts to make learning fun and practical.
This method of adding the arts to STEM activities, commonly referred to as STEAM, helps reinforce classroom teachings in a lively, engaging way. Picture your child designing a simple machine and performing in a mini-play—all in one afternoon. That's SMARTS for you.
Our Educators
Our educators aren't just tutors — they're passionate mentors. They bring experience and enthusiasm, working closely with each child to offer personalized help. They create a supportive, safe learning environment, making work and study sessions rewarding and less daunting.
Why Choose an Academic After-School Program?
An academic after-school program such as ours can boost your child's education and academic performance. Regular tutoring clarifies core concepts and offers extra practice, making tough subjects easier.
Beyond academics, our program builds confidence. As children see they're achieving something through their efforts, they also feel better about themselves. Quite often, our fun activities and the drama or dance sessions make it easy for them to come together and engage in discussions. These skills are vital for their growth and as future members of society.
