Homeschool Tutorials for Active Learners

With a 9 student maximum, we are able to customize curriculum to the students enrolled in each class.

Organizing class levels according to minimum skills rather than "grade level" or age allows us to keep the range of skill-levels close.

Secular curriculum makes a comfortable space for students of all faith backgrounds, including a completely secular family culture.

Our peaceful, positive approach encourages, motivates and includes.

Play-based strategies make learning fun.

Safety is our top priority. That's why we are offering a range of options. Our in-person classes will fully utilize our options for fresh air, and social distancing. Frequent sanitization and masks will also help us stay safe and healthy. Many classes can be joined online and others will be held in-person at 9811 Mallard Drive, Suite 208, Laurel, MD 20708.

Enrollment is open.
Classes are prorated. Join us any time.
Payment plans available at check-out.

TESTIMONIALS

"I have had my daughter enrolled in the Pre-K/Kindergarten class at Art Play Learn since last Fall. She really loves the time she has to play with other kids her age while also learning and creating. She comes home after each class with art and/or writing projects that she's very proud to show me. Meredith is very sweet and treats the kids very kindly and talks to them with a lot of respect. My daughter looks forward to going back each week!"

"As unschoolers we look to our childrens' interests for inspiration. When our son wanted to learn Japanese in a face-to-face class, I wasn't sure I'd find it. I was so glad to find and speak with Meredith at Art.Play.Learn. I found her both professional and personable. Our son says "she makes class feel like family" and shares that Meredith is "energetic and has a playful way of explaining things that makes class and learning fun".  

"My seven-year-old son looks forward to Art & Storytime every week. He's tried a lot of online classes and this is by far his favorite. The class makes him feel confident, introduces him to new concepts, and puts him in a good mood! It's just what he (and I!) need on a Wednesday afternoon!" ~ Lauren McClain
