What makes Alchemy Kids Learning so great?Our staff are former teachers, college graduates, parents, and have over 20 years of experience with children. We keep our class groupings fluid, allowing students to be challenged at every ability level. Our class groupings are very small: on average, 10:1 no more than 10 students for 1 degreed teacher. That's right, our classes are very personable and meaningful! Alchemy Kids Learning put high emphasis on critical thinking, science, literacy and mathematics. We are changing the narrative of traditional classroom learning and experiences. We believe in hands on learning, holistic tutoring, and community building with our families. Alchemy Kids Learning was created by a mom and former teacher, so we always have YOU in mind!

What makes us different from the rest?The biggest difference between Alchemy Kids Learning and other educational programs is our curriculum. We collaborate with teachers and our parents to make sure your child is getting everything they need. Also, unlike traditional programs we incorporate project-based learning to our students. Our themes change monthly for STEM Friday. Lastly, we are the only program around that gives back to our families! Your child can get the opportunity to earn 1 month's tuition back at the end of the year via check ( this apart of our financial literacy teaching) for simply being a great human and making great choices inside/outside of the classroom! We will perform individual assessments at the beginning of our enrichment STEAM program, and we will provide relevant data documenting your child's progress all throughout the year. The results will speak for itself. Consider us to be like the village that every family needs!
