STEAM Day Frequently Asked Questions
Children with special needs and health conditions are extremely welcome at Einstein’s Workshop. Children with ADHD, on the autism spectrum, other developmental challenges, learning differences, and special physical needs often do very well in our offerings. As part of the registration process, we ask for full disclosure about a child’s challenges so we can ensure that they have the best possible experience.
If your child has an IEP, 504, or receives any special accommodations at school, please call us to discuss how to ensure that your child has a great experience. If your child has a one on one aide at school, we may request that a parent or other aide accompany the child during our program. In some circumstances, it may be appropriate for the child to attend without an aide on a trial basis. If it turns out that our program is not a good fit and a parent has fully disclosed their child’s condition and followed our agreed-upon plan, we will issue a refund.
Kids are given the option to play outside with fun and appropriate outdoor toys. They are also welcome to enjoy any of the fun educational toys, games, and books in our STEAM Play Space. We also have a ping pong table and gaga pit available during breaks.
Definitely! Many camps, especially those involving experimentation, have an outdoors component. Also, whenever the weather allows, we eat lunch and snack outside, after which kids are also given the option to play outside with fun and appropriate outdoor toys.
The content of our camps build day over day so joining after the first day is challenging. In addition, in many of our camps, kids work together so it can be disruptive for students to leave part way through the week. That said, we can usually accommodate a camper missing a single day; there would be no discount for that situation.
Children must be at least 5 years old and in Kindergarten to attend camp.
Children must be at least 5 years old and starting Kindergarten in the Fall to attend camp.
Yes, we provide complimentary lunch hour supervision for students staying the full day. Half-Day campers may enroll in the Lunch and Play option for an additional fee.
Unfortunately, we aren’t able to heat or store food in a refrigerator. Please pack lunch in an insulated container to maintain the correct temperature.
A limited selection of small snacks are available for purchase at the front desk.
Most families pack lunch and snacks for their children. We have a small selection of Lunchable-type options that parents can purchase by filling out the lunch request form no later than the Saturday before the first day of that week’s camp.
We often provide Early Drop-off (8:15 – 9 AM), 1 Hour Extended Play (4 – 5 PM), and Long Extended Play (4 – 5:45 PM) for additional fees. Half day campers may also join us for the lunch hour for a small additional fee. Some of the smaller STEAM days do not offer early drop-off or extended play options.
AM camps start at 9 AM and end at 12 Noon. PM camps start at 1 PM and end at 4 PM.
Each one-week (five days) morning or afternoon camp costs $450. The first week of summer camp, the week of Juneteenth, and the July 4th week cost less because they meet for fewer than five days. February and April vacation camps also only meet for four days so cost less. If you need five full days of coverage during February or April vacation, campers can enjoy our Presidents Day or Patriots Day STEAM Days in addition to a four day camp.
