in schools, community facilities,
homes and their Discovery Centers
that are located in select areas. As
a mobile business, they partner with
these institutions and locations as
they bring their own teachers, materi-als
and curriculum.
“Anywhere there is structured play,
we can bring our programs in to supple-ment
the education,” Jessica Stasi,
owner of Snapology’s LIC and Man-hattan
location. For homes, to offer
home-school classes, birthday parties,
play dates, scouting activities. etc.”
Their purpose is designed based
on proven research that children learn
best from actively designing, creating,
interacting and inventing. A wide va-riety
of activities are offered in order
to “reinforce core competencies and
curricula” at each grade level.
Snapology obtains a flexible cur-riculum
that allows for teachers to
adapt to the needs of all students as
the curriculum is designed to benefit
those who may also be gifted, tradi-tional
