See why teachers and directors love Learning Beyond the Bell!​

What happens when afterschool programs switch to Learning Beyond the Bell? Kids stop asking “When can I leave?” and start begging parents, “Can you come back later?” Don’t just take our word for it, hear directly from the directors and teachers who’ve experienced turning an after-school headache into an enrollment magnet.

  • Ease of Use & Clear ROI for School – The program is described as “easy to follow and implement.” Curriculum flows logically, building on concepts week-to-week. Time savings for teachers, while parents observing behavioral improvements in their children.
  • High Student Engagement – Kids are excited to participate and ask what the next activity will be. They are so engaged they don’t see the activities as “work.” Kids asking parents to pick them up later (not earlier!)
  • Effective Timing – The activities take 15-25 minutes, fitting well into the afterschool schedule. Activities readily available and easy to follow, eliminating planning burden and creating from scratch.

Hands-On, Minds-On Themes Children Love

From space exploration to recycled art, career discovery to kindness labs, our curriculum features engaging, project-based units like “Creative Artists Showcase,” “Mad Scientist Lab,” “Get Your Game On,” and “Mini Makers,” Children explore identity, culture, creativity, nature, and science. Through these fun and meaningful experiences, they build teamwork, empathy, and important life skills.
