School Age

Overall: Our school-age classroom is meticulously designed to address the specific requirements of each child. Our program (for children up to the age of 12) offers unique, engaging possibilities to begin and end their day on a positive note. We also provide STEM activities, homework help, and snacks!

Before & After: We prepare your child for success by providing a consistent morning routine. Calming activities, unstructured time, and group activities promote a mindful approach to the day. After school, your child is free to play with classmates and satisfy their need for connection. We encourage both indoor and outdoor activities to help you develop healthy habits and increase their physical activity.

Summer Program:

Get ready for an unforgettable summer with Minds N Motion! Our summer program is packed with fun, adventure, and learning for kids ages 5-12. Each day is filled with exciting activities, from creative arts and crafts. Plus, we go on field trips that will spark curiosity and broaden horizons—whether it’s a visit to a local museum, a nature hike, or a trip to the pool, the fun never stops! We also make sure there’s plenty of outdoor play, with games, sports, and team-building activities to keep the energy high and the smiles even higher! Kids will have the opportunity to form friendships, build confidence, and enjoy the great outdoors while staying active and engaged. Our experienced staff ensures that every child feels safe and supported, while having a blast every day. Whether they're exploring new interests, enjoying fresh air, or just having fun with new friends, Minds N Motion Summer Program is the perfect place for your child to grow, learn, and make memories that will last a lifetime.

Mechanicsville School-Age Teacher

Hello! My name is Brooke, and I've been a part of Minds N Motion since I was just six years old! It's been an incredible journey watching my mom turn her dreams into reality by opening the centers, and I officially joined the team as an employee in 2020. Recently, I got married in October! Growing up on a farm, I’ve always had a special bond with my furry friends. While I once dreamed of becoming a veterinarian due to my deep passion for animals, my experiences here have shaped my path in unexpected ways. I am currently attending college to earn my degree in Early Childhood Development. My favorite ages are the four- and five-year-olds. I love teaching and preparing them for graduation. I also enjoy spending time with school-age; they keep me up to date on the latest trends. I love the relationships I have with them and am proud they trust me. Fun fact, I am an only child; I’ve always considered my cousins as my siblings. When I’m not working, I love to unwind, especially during the winter months, but nothing beats summer days spent tubing on the boat and then enjoying some crabs for dinner—this describes the perfect summer day to me!

Outside of work, I enjoy playing with my dog and spending quality time with friends. I’m also excited to share that I am newly engaged!

Hi, my name is Jessica. I've been in childcare for 23 years—8 years at Minds N Motions in April 2025. I am with the 3/4s and school agers. I enjoy being with the older kids; the conversations they can hold can be entertaining at times! When I am not in the classroom, I enjoy the beach, gardening, canning, and listening to music. I simply love spending time outdoors!
