Transition Care is a flexible after-school option to complement our enrichment classes offered at the Dwares JCC. We will meet your child at the bus stop or in the lobby. From there they will enjoy a healthy snack and quiet activities before being escorted to their class. We will then pick up your child from the class for continued activities until a parent is able to arrive. Transition Care is not available on days when classes do not meet.
Become a S.T.E.M. Explorer (formerly Science Explorers) and flex your creativity and problem-solving skills! This engaging and exciting program from Exploration Studios explores the intersection of engineering and art with the G.O.A.T…Rube Goldberg, an engineer, artist, cartoonist, and all-around inspiring human who designed the most roundabout ways to complete a simple task. Our S.T.E.M. Explorers will learn about chain reactions and cause and effect, utilizing various materials to solve a simple problem. Using recyclables, dominoes, strings, marbles, blocks, levers, and everything in between, we will team up to create our very own Rube Goldberg Machine! Each week Explorers will design and build bite-sized Machines, from simple to more complex. There will be problem solving. There will be creativity. There will be happy accidents. And, most of all, there will be fun and laughs!

Welcome to the Wonderful World of Slime! Did you know slime is formed through chemical reactions? Plus, it’s just good ole fashion fun! Join your friends at Exploration Studios to explore all the variations of slime you could possibly imagine. Each week, Science Explorers will concoct a different type of slime and watch as the kid-safe ingredients foam, fizzle, and squish, changing from liquid to solid. From butter and crunchy to glitter and exploding, slime-making is a joyful experience which supports brain development, promotes scientific exploration, encourages problem solving, and activates all of your child’s senses!
