General InformationThe Caedmon After School and Music School is thrilled to bring our community of children 50 wonderful selections this winter. As the temperatures drop and the snow/ice/sleet/rain make traveling difficult, consider leaving your child at Caedmon after 3:30 to enjoy a robust menu of activities.

In addition, Caedmon’s half day Early Program friends can join in the after school fun as well. From 11:35 – 12:15 each day, a combination of engaging yoga classes from Yogi Beans and exciting music classes provided by FunikiJam are available for half day EP students. Not only are the classes are great, but parents and caretakers can use that extra 45 minutes each morning before returning back to Caedmon for pick up.

Many of our highly popular after school classes remain on the menu, including Ms. Vrazel’s Wednesday and Thursday Chess sections, Junior Gymnastics at Gymtime, Mrs. Schneider’s always amazing Caedmon Chefs, and Ballet Dancing, just to name a few.

Some fantastic new classes also appear on the schedule. One is Stage Acting, where our youngsters will learn real acting techniques on a professional stage at New Media Theatre, a block away from Caedmon. Another exciting class is Looney Life Labs, which features a plethora of scientific experiments relating to insects, the earth, weather, and sports.

Please remember that Caedmon After School classes are 40, 60 or 80 minutes in length with pick up times at 4:20, 4:40 or 5:00. Off-site classes may run about 10 – 15 minutes later. Check the class listing carefully so you or your child’s caretaker knows when the class ends.
