Where Joyful Learning Builds Resilient Learners

All children deserve access to safe, enriching environments beyond the school day. We design programs where fun meets purpose, fostering academic growth, social skills, and creativity through hands-on play and discovery.

Our Core Values

Everything we do is rooted in the four pillars of resilience: Belonging, Mastery, Independence, and Generosity. These pillars are the basis for how we design programs, train staff, and support children and schools every day.

We Cultivate Mastery

Children grow through effort and exploration. We celebrate progress and create environments where students and staff alike work to improve and embrace the process of continuous learning.

We Inspire Independence

Students build confidence when given voice and choice. Our programs empower them to make decisions, take initiative, and lead in their own learning journeys.

We Build Belonging

We create safe, inclusive spaces where every child feels seen and valued. Belonging is nurtured through strong relationships, shared purpose, and open communication.

We Practice Generosity

Kindness and collaboration are at the core of our work. Children and staff practice helping others, uplifting each other, and giving back through everyday actions.

Your Program, Co-Created With Experts

We partner with schools and community leaders to design programs that reflect your unique culture, values, and the specific needs of your students. The programs we provide are truly community-centered and co-created.

You choose the structure. We bring the tools, team, and vision to life.

Start a Program That Reflects Your School’s Mission

Partnership

We start with deep listening: aligning values, goals, and a right-sized scope. No two programs are the same, and every organization gets personalized attention and curation.

Program Design

As partners, we will develop the structure, hire your team, and tailor it to your community. During this step, your program will begin to take shape as we curate the perfect program for you.

Training

We support your staff with ongoing training, coaching, and a customized curricula that align with the values and needs of your organization.

Launch & Support

We stand beside you from launch through growth, providing full support for operations, events, and family engagement. Your program is yours, but we offer support throughout.

The Five-Hour Advantage

At Innovation learning, we unlock the hours before and after school, ensuring it’s time when kids build resilience and belonging and accelerate their academic progress.

Equivalent to 125 extra learning days per year, our model provides every student with the opportunity to grow under the guidance of educators who listen, care, and remain focused on student success.

What sets us apart? Our team, composed of former educators, aligns with your mission and values, ensuring high-quality, personalized support for students.

We reinvest all our resources into our programs, prioritizing the needs of the students and enhancing their learning experiences.
