Discovery Club at Nokomis Montessori School
Nok kids

The mission of Discovery Club is to provide out-of-school-time child care in a safe, fun, caring environment that supports children's learning and development.


Children participate in a wide variety of academic enrichment, recreational and cultural activities that informally support learning and social development.  Additionally, Discovery Club staff connect with school-day teachers to better support children's learning.



Discovery Club at Nokomis offers different components to meet the needs of the families we serve.  A child may be enrolled in   any combination of components listed below:
  • Before School:  from 6:30 to the start of the school day.  This is an informal time of self directed and structured activities.  Gym games are also offered each morning.
  • Extended Day Pre-kindergarten:  Extended pre-K 4 year old program is approximately 4 hours of the regular school day (after the school's morning 4 year old program). Children arrive

    at Discovery Club after eating lunch with their Montessori  class. They participate in academic enrichment activities designed to complement the 4 year old program.  Recess and a short rest time  is provided during the afternoon session. 
  • After School:  from the end of the school day until 6 p.m.  This is a time for children to unwind, have a nutritious snack and socialize.  Children participate in enrichment activities and projects, homework/reading time, and exercise.
School Release:  from 6:30 a.m. - 6 p.m. on days school is closed for conferences, teachers meetings, professional days, winter break and spring break.  These days are often used for field trips.  Enrollment is optional; parents/guardians contract for these days separately.
