Virtual School Program
Virtual Options in the Event that Schools go All Virtual:
In the event that schools are forced to go all virtual, Mobius will have program options to help with virtual schooling.
We will have a very low student to teacher ratio and will offer a part day program from 8:00am – 1:00pm and a full day program from 8:00am – 6:30pm. Students will bring in their Chromebooks, and we will help facilitate their virtual learning, as well as students will get breaks to enjoy time in the gym, game room, and outdoor play area. We will provide snacks, but students will need to bring a lunch. If students are with us for a full day, then in the afternoon they will be able to rotate to all areas of the facility for more hands-on activities in the technology, science, and art room.
Students enrolled in our after-school program will get the first chance to sign up for our virtual school program if/when schools go all virtual. Students enrolled in the after-school program will be able to switch back and forth between the after-school program and virtual program as needed.
Mobius Experience
Welcome to Mobius! This is where kids can explore new paths, dream about their bright futures, and discover amazing things about themselves.
Our goal at Mobius is to create a safe and fun environment where kids can be kids, they are able to learn and explore through creativity, and will love and enjoy their experience at the center.
Once students arrive at Mobius, they are not stepping into an ordinary after school program, it is a whole experience. Our instructors (which we call Mobis) will greet the students and lead them to the gym where we will have upbeat music playing to get the energy going! Students will receive a snack and can play in the gym area or outdoors until we start our group rotations.
Students will be placed in age-appropriate groups and will spend 35-40 minutes rotating between our science room, art room, technology room, library, game room, gymnasium, and our fully fenced in outdoor area with a full size soccer field and state of the art playground.
Students will have a blast playing on the triple-decker slide and zip line outside, will see the wonder of making homemade volcanoes in science class, create t-shirts, masks, and all sorts of projects in art, and learn how technology can be used as a tool to create. Plus, so much more!!
Spaces and Curriculum
Science Room: The science room is a fun experience where students can grab their goggles and aprons and learn through hands-on activities in a safe environment! Kids will be creating their own bouncy balls, forming clouds in a jar, creating a planet, and coding a Lego maze just to name a few.
Art Room: This is the kids’ opportunity to show their creative side! They will be doing several drawings and paintings, leaf rubbing, learning a little origami, and creating their own charms, instruments, and so much more!
Technology Room: Students will get the opportunity to learn how technology is used to create. Students will be able to participate in fun and education games, dabble in coding, and create 3-D models.
Game Room: Let kids be kids! This game room is pure fun. Equipped with numerous board games, card games, and bigger games such as air hockey, foosball, and shuffleboard, kids will never get bored getting to enjoy their favorite games with friends.
Library: A little quieter than our other rooms, the library offers some time for the students to wind down. They have access to books and will be able to read, work on homework, draw, write, or engage in other quiet activities. Students are able to leave their other rooms to head to the library at any time to work on homework.
Gymnasium: Our basketball gymnasium is the perfect place for kids to run and play. Students will get to experience several organized activities with Mobis teaching them new games daily!
Outdoor Space: The outdoor area is fully fenced in and has a full-size soccer field and large play structure. Students will be engaged in all kinds of fun activities on the field and will never get tired of playing on the triple decker slides, zipline, or all the climbing elements the playground has to offer.
