Collective Club is a flexible after-school option designed around the creative classes and programs already happening at EAST.

Coming Fall 2026

A different kind of afternoon

Stay. Make. Move. Belong.

The school day ends. The creative day doesn't have to.

Collective Club is our developing after-school program for families who want more flexibility around the classes, rehearsals, and creative programs their kids already love.

Instead of rushing across town between school, childcare, and activities, kids can spend the afternoon at EAST — with room to play, make things, move, decompress, and participate in eligible EAST and program-partner classes.

We're building the program now for Fall 2026.

The idea

Less shuttling. More afternoon.

  1. Come to EAST after school.
    Collective Club provides a home base for the afternoon.
  2. Settle in.
    Kids have time for creative play, projects, movement, and a change of pace after the school day.
  3. Head to class when it's time.
    Eligible EAST and participating program-partner classes can fit naturally into the afternoon rather than requiring another pickup and drop-off.
  4. Pick up by 5:45.
    One place. More flexibility. A little less family logistics.
Classes still stay classes

Club time bends around their schedule.

Collective Club isn't meant to replace the creative classes your child is excited about. It's meant to make getting to them — and getting through the rest of the afternoon — a little easier.

If your child has an eligible EAST or participating program-partner class during the Club window, they'll head to that program when it's time and can return to Collective Club afterward when their schedule allows.

For example
Art at 4:00. Pickup at 5:30. Your child can spend the earlier part of the afternoon at Collective Club, head to art when class begins, and return afterward if there's time before pickup.
A few early questions

What families are asking.

Does my child have to attend every afternoon?

No. Collective Club is being designed as a flexible, usage-based option rather than a traditional five-day after-school commitment.

Can my child take an EAST class during Collective Club?

That's a central part of the idea. Eligible EAST and participating program-partner classes can fit inside your child's Collective Club afternoon.

Which classes and programs will be eligible?

We're finalizing participating programs now. We'll publish clear eligibility and scheduling details before enrollment opens.

What if our schedule changes from week to week?

Flexibility is one of the goals of the program. We're still finalizing the scheduling and check-in system, and the interest list will help us understand how much flexibility families actually need.

Can I enroll now?

Not yet. Collective Club is still being finalized for Fall 2026. Joining the interest list is the best way to hear when enrollment details are ready.
