After School Care and Enrichment - Grades K-6

The Digital Discovery Center is located in the same building as Pembroke Kids. Our after school enrichment curriculum is fun and age appropriate. The environment is safe and nurturing and run by experienced teachers. We include a variety of opportunities for young children to explore computer technology, filmmaking, photography, and more traditional arts, crafts and literacy activities. Stopmotion animation, building with LEGO Technics and programming LEGO robots captivate the older children. Younger children love to build with basic LEGOS and are eager to move beyond just playing computer games to learning how to use computers creatively.

On Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday evenings throughout the school year we offer special sessions for kids who love LEGOS, Digital Media, and Robotics but are not enrolled in our after school care program.
