FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What curriculum will we be using? 

We will be using Florida state standards as a guide to create project-based learning opportunities. We will be doing themed unit studies each week and weaving that theme into writing, art, science, engineering, cooperative learning, culinary, history, Florida wildlife and habitats, practical math and whatever else we may dream up! 

Is your program a drop-in program? 

No, we are not a drop-in program.

Do we accept Step Up scholarships?

Yes, we are a direct provider, and payments can be conveniently made right in the EMA Marketplace.

Are we a secular group?

Yes, we are a secular group. We welcome people of all beliefs and focus on fostering an inclusive environment for everyone.

Our weekly themes have not been set in stone, but some of our ideas include: 

Measurement, area, and perimeter 

Florida wildlife, habitats, history, Native Americans, conservation, community, branches of government, ecosystems 

World cultures 

Geography and fun with maps 

The Mayflower journey

Culinary Arts (math and recipes, history of American food culture, history of chocolate, recipe book making, menu planning, shopping and budgeting, learning about culture through food, food production, imports/exports of food, impact of agriculture on environments, etc.) 

We are bursting with ideas, and extremely excited to take a deep dive into topics with the kids! We will be flexible in our themes as to address our group’s interests in order to provide a great experience for the learners.
