    Hello,
    I’m wondering if you have workshops or after school programs in San Mateo county for 5th graders? If so, please let me know the contact info. Thanks! Hope to hear from you soon.

    Best,
    Astrid

      Hi Astrid,

      Thank you so much for your interest in our programs! Unfortunately at this time we do not offer after school classes in San Mateo county, although it is certainly possibility in the future. What school do your kids attend in San Mateo? It’s often parents’ encouragement that enables us to start programs at new schools and we would love to look into working with the school system in your area!
