Homework Club for Valley Village - North Hollywood, & greater San Fernando Valley Families

Spring Session January 8 - June 10

HOMEWORK CLUB at Village Arts - Grades 1st–5th
and is open for all kids in the community.

Village Arts understands the importance of a nurturing environment beyond the classroom.

That’s why we created Homework Club PLUS– a safe space where students can thrive.
After finishing their homework, students get to unwind and unleash their creativity during our play time.
This unstructured (but well-controlled) playtime provides a valuable break, allowing students to return to their homes feeling refreshed and re-energized and ready for family time!
