Research & Evidence
Children Learn in 100 Languages:
"Children are not things to be molded, but people to be unfolded".
At SHED, we embrace the Reggio Emilia belief that children learn and express themselves in a hundred different languages, through movement, art, conversation, curiosity, play, and more. We see the whole child mind, body, and soul—interconnected and alive with potential. Our role as educators is to create rich, responsive environments that honor each child’s unique language of learning and give them the time, space, and support to unfold.

I cannot speak highly enough of SHED
The overall culture of the staff and administration fosters an amazing (and rare) sense of independence, curiosity, creativity, community, and kindness. So grateful to have a program like this in Andover – I wouldn’t leave my girls anywhere else!
[My daughter] has learned so much and is genuinely thirsty to learn more...
Our son loves SHED and so do we.
He attends the after-school sessions, and each day he’s doing something different. When we pick him up, he may be playing football or hockey one day, or a game of chess or working on crafts the next.
They let kids explore their imaginations with enough room to roam the creative, expressive (and athletic) space.
Nathaniel Eberle
My daughter absolutely loves spending time at SHED.
The people who take care of the kids are amazing. The activities are endless, and the rest of the staff are very welcoming and helpful.
I am very happy with SHED/Kids club.
Our kids use the bus to go from school to SHED. They are able to choose the activity they would like to do in the afternoon and they love it.
The management goes above and beyond to help. We have had a wonderful experience at SHED
Mariam Momenzadeh
The Teachers in the classrooms truly care about the children...
And making sure they have the best time possible. With an open classroom policy, children can interact with children of other ages, classrooms, and schools, creating an amazing sense of community and friends that can last a lifetime. Different activities are offered every day, allowing your child to learn new skills and discover interests from people passionate about their work. Not to mention the beautiful campus, which is constantly being improved.
