Beyond the Classroom is a home away from home
Beyond The Classroom is a K–5 after-school enrichment program designed to give children a safe, nurturing space to learn, create, and grow beyond the typical classroom. Through hands-on projects, creative exploration, and real-world learning experiences like field trips, we help kids build confidence and curiosity.
Founded by two South Pasadena moms and former educators, we blend educational expertise with personal care — supporting not only children but their families. Monthly parent education meetings offer guidance on childhood development and help strengthen the home-to-program connection.
We’re more than after-school care — we’re a community where kids feel seen, supported, and inspired.
HOURS OF OPERATION:
Beyond The Classroom is a year- round program and will be open from Monday to Friday, from 8am to 6:00pm. It is also open during most school holidays and local school vacations, such as spring break, winter break and summer break.
