The Earthplace After School Enrichment Program provides a bridge between school and home that connects students with nature in a meaningful way. It also provides working parents with the knowledge that their child will have a seamless transition from school to an afternoon of fun and learning.
At the Earthplace After School Enrichment Program children unplug from the electronic world and plug in to the natural world. Our 62-acre sanctuary, live animal exhibits, and interactive nature museum offer an unparalleled opportunity for nature discovery and environmental learning.
The program runs Monday through Friday from 3 pm to 6 pm for students in grades K through five and scheduling is flexible. Earthplace provides private transportation from all five public Westport elementary schools and delivers students directly to Earthplace. Earthplace preschool director Amee Borys, who earned her M.S.Ed. from Fordham University, is Connecticut state certified in K–5 Education. Please see the ASEP Parent Handbook and the 2018-2019 Program Calendar for more program information.
