Introduction

USES’s afterschool and out-of-school time program, club48, provides high-quality care and enrichment opportunities for children. Through lessons, activities, local field trips, and projects, our classrooms provide a thriving environment where children can develop and strengthen their innovation, collaboration, and leadership skills.

We ensure the quality of our services through our STEAM-driven curriculum, where we teach STEM concepts with an Art lens, and our classroom leaders create and run lessons that inspire children to continue being lifelong learners.
