“Centered on being creative, active, and exploring around the screen, Bennett Live Pods provide children with space to explore, create and connect with other children,” said Dr. Kelly Page, Director of Bennett Labs.
From the comfort of home, the program helps children build trust, autonomy, executive functioning skills, and socialize in readiness for the new school year, whether beginning remote or on-campus learning in the fall.
“My granddaughter’s thinking and problem-solving skills have increased immensely as have her skills in physical activity, movement, music, and speech,” said Dr. Carol Neuhauser, EdD, and Bennett Live Pod grandparent. “She looks forward to school and extending the projects that are taught in the morning sessions.”
The Pods meet every morning, Monday-to-Friday, for half-day sessions via Zoom with a Bennett Live educator. The spring session will occur March 22, – June 11, 2021, with the summer session occurring June 21, – August 27, 2021. The 11-12 week program costs between $3-4k per child/pod or about $60/day.
