A Place to Learn, Play & Grow!

At RAS, we believe before and after school should be meaningful extensions of the school day — not just afterthoughts. While many programs offer a safe place to play, RAS goes further by combining high-quality academic enrichment, active play, and social skill-building — all wrapped in the fun and energy kids love.

Your Kids at Right Club!

Kids spend up to 20 hours a week in our programs—let us walk you through all the ways your child will learn, play and grow in a typical day with RAS. See a more detailed version of the daily schedule here.

Check-in & Attendance

We start by taking attendance and making sure that every child on the roster for that day is accounted for. A team member will lead the kids in a quick warm-up game while we wait for everyone to arrive.

We start every afternoon with a Town Hall, where we get kids excited about the activities ahead, do a community-building activity, celebrate birthdays, and shout out students for big wins (like Sammy acing his spelling test!)… all while enjoying a healthy snack!

We run, jump, stretch, and dance to “get the wiggles out” before putting our brains to work!

All RAS kiddos will spend ten minutes each day learning a second language. PreK–First Graders will learn the Spanish words for shapes, colors, numbers, and more, while our older students will learn American Sign Language (ASL)!

Each day, we help kids finish their homework… so you can reclaim the weeknight for family fun! Our educators split kids into similar age groups, foster a calm environment, and provide one-on-one support when kids need help.

Shhhh! Don’t tell the kids they’re learning! Our hands-on enrichment activities range from silly science experiments to feats of toothpick engineering, globe-trotting adventures, songwriting competitions, and beyond. Hidden in each Disguised Learning activity is a deeply thoughtful lesson plan with learning objectives tied to state and national standards… but kids just know that they’re having a blast!

Red rover, red rover, send Elsa right over! In the gym, on the playground, rain or shine, we’ll get our muscles moving to classic schoolyard games or sports like kickball and soccer.

We end every day with options! Board games, arts and crafts, collaborative group projects, quiet reading, free play with friends, and more.

All the best days come to a close. We hope that by the time you arrive, you’ll have a happy, engaged, perhaps even tuckered out kiddo to enjoy a relaxing evening at home as a family.
