After School Clubs are a great way for children to extend their day at MCH, make deeper connections with friends and expand their interests and skill sets. From fun in the kitchen to getting outside, the After School Clubs catapult creativity, weave in exercise and teach wellness practices.

Fall, winter and spring clubs can be enrolled through Transparent Classroom. 
*All after school programming is on temporary hold due to COVID restrictions. Below is a sampling of past programming that we hope to be able to offer in the future.

This 9-week course will be led by Henrieke Timmer. "In the Netherlands I was a teacher at a elementary school for 9 years and I truly enjoyed working with the children. I was also struggling because being a teacher is much more then only teaching the curriculum. When I discovered Mindfulness and did a MBSR-course I was immediately passionate about it and knew this is what I want to teach the children."
