The new program, launching August 31, will feature dedicated learning pods grouped by age: Kindergarten-5th grade, 6th-8th grade, and 9th-12th grade. Teachers will lead students through online learning programs, while Bay Club instructors will lead a wide variety of active lifestyle programming, all within strict adherence to the health and safety guidelines of local, state and federal requirements for COVID-19. To ensure that the learning pods are as safe and healthy as possible, children and their assigned teacher will remain in their pod for the duration of the school day. Pod size will be limited according to current guidelines and the program will comply with all applicable local, state and licensing requirements.

“We know families are eager to find the right support when it comes to distance learning for their children, which is why we’re so excited about this new partnership,” said Tom Wyatt, CEO of KinderCare Education. “Our proprietary curriculum for school-aged children is based on the latest educational research and focuses on building the three critical abilities that have the most impact on a child’s future success: social-emotional skills, executive-function skills, and inquiry-based learning. By combining our Champions school-age education programs with The Bay Club’s leadership in active lifestyle programming and their world-class sports facilities, we’ll give families peace of mind by providing their children with a safe learning environment that supports their children’s academic, social and physical development.”
