Enrichment Classes

Each trimester, Belmont Day offers a range of exciting classes led by enthusiastic teachers.

Enrichment classes are offered Monday through Thursday, from 3:30 to 4:30 p.m. Enrollment is on a first-come, first-served basis and is often limited to ten students per class. Our classes often fill up, and we maintain waiting lists when that happens.

We do not move students to alternate classes once the trimester has begun to ensure the quality of the program, curriculum, and classroom community.

Below are our class offerings for Trimester 3 of the 2025-26 school year.

If an enrichment class is unexpectedly canceled on a given day, students will join After School for the corresponding class period.

Mondays

Yoga Theater – pre-k to grade 2 | Mrs. Peterman | $340

STEMology – grades 1 & 2 | Teacher Castien | $400
Young explorers will become apprentice wizards, dragon trainers, and myth-busting scientists as they dive into real STEM concepts hidden inside legendary worlds. From testing “dragon fire” reactions and designing fairy wings to constructing castle catapults and decoding mermaid messages, this class blends storytelling, critical thinking, teamwork, and innovation while making learning feel like a magical quest.

Metalsmiths: Jewelry Design – grades 3 to 5 | Profe Restrepo | $440
Students will create jewelry and wire pieces using copper, resin, beads, string, and other materials. Techniques include hammering, wire wrapping, stringing, crimping, and jump rings. Projects will include wearable pieces, bookmarks, key chains, and more.

Tuesdays

Pirates & Princesses: The Great Treasure & Crown Quest – pre-k & kindergarten | Mr. Parsons | $440
Students will design pirate and princess attire and royal treasures while engaging in creative storytelling. They will craft, move, and play to encourage imagination and confidence. Whether hoisting the Jolly Roger or ruling a kingdom, participants will create, explore, and embark on epic adventures.

Basketball Buddies – grades 1 & 2 | Mr. Ridoré | $340
Sportsmanship, teamwork, athleticism, and learning foundational basketball skills are all part of this class. By combining the fundamentals of footwork, passing, and dribbling, participants will learn to shoot for the stars, sink their shots, and work together as a team.

Sewing + Embroidery Combo – grades 3 to 5 | Ms. Amanda & Ms. Anya | $400
Students will learn hand sewing, embroidery stitches, and how to operate a sewing machine. Projects include bags, pillows, and stuffed animals. Each week, the class will alternate between hand and machine sewing.

Wednesdays

Little Einstein’s Laboratory – pre-k & kindergarten | Teacher Castien | $400
Students will explore STEAM concepts through colorful experiments, sensory discoveries, building challenges, and simple chemical reactions. Each class encourages observation, prediction, problem-solving, and creative thinking while introducing age-appropriate topics, including color mixing, magnetism, bubble reactions, light, motion, and nature.

Craftastic – grades 1 & 2 | Ms. Chelsea | $440
Students will create cool crafts across various media. Projects will be inspired by games, pop culture, animals, nature, and more. Activities will include hand-sewing a small plushie, sculpting a 3D Minecraft creeper from cardboard, weaving a yarn animal, and making (many!) pom-poms.

Center Stage – grades 3 to 5 | Mr. Parsons | $764
This is a two-hour class dismissing at 5:30 p.m. Students will practice essential theater skills, including character development, stage presence, improvisation, and effective communication. Every student will be cast in a role, giving each performer the opportunity to shine individually while contributing to the success of the one-act play. Because every role depends on others, students are expected to attend all rehearsals unless an emergency occurs. Consistent attendance is essential to fairness, ensemble trust, and the overall quality of the production. 

Thursdays

This mobile gym features tumbling equipment and fun, age-appropriate obstacle courses. Students will learn to use a zip line, trapeze bar, and hanging rings while developing their gross motor and tumbling skills.

Space Animation – grades 3 to 5 | Ms. McGill | $400
Students will plan, build, and film space- and Star Wars-inspired stop-motion animations, inventing aliens and other characters to star in the projects and assembling them from a variety of materials.
