After-School Program at CMB
for ages 5-10

The Children's Museum After-School Program offers exciting, hands-on enrichment classes in art, language, natural science, and physical science sandwiched between unstructured museum exploration. Our instructors are talented, experienced and enthusiastic, and our 7:1 student:staff ratio means kids get plenty of attention. CMB offers an exceptional atmosphere for playing and learning.

Our excellent teachers and classes provide hands-on learning opportunities that are often unavailable in public schools. Children have a chance to socialize with peers and learn together in a small group and a safe environment. The program offers up to one hour of Museum exploration, so kids can have unstructured transition time before and after class -- and time to make CMB their own.

When you sign up for a session, your child attends the same day each week. You are welcome to sign up for one or more of these sessions, for example, Wednesdays (MOSS) and Fridays (clubZOOM). We supply a nutritious snack and all supplies.

The After-School Program follows the Bozeman School District's schedule; when school is out, ASP is out too. However, we also offer special programs on Early Release and PIR days.

Space is limited to 12 students per class, so sign up your child today!
