The Alameda Arts program at Paden has grown to capacity and is now expanding to bring in more varied enrichment, quiet places to read and do homework, academic support, structured outdoor play and continues with its open art lab and free play.

The program runs from the first day of school to the last, Monday-Friday following the school calendar, including all early release days and non-student/teacher work days.

Outside play, quiet reading, doing art or creative free play are all welcomed activities. We are onsite in a portable with children K through 5th grade. The program runs from the first day of school to the last, Monday-Friday following the school calendar, including all early release days.

NEA Community Learning Center
After having our summer camp at NEA we are learning what a special place this school is! We will be sharing the kindergarten classroom and enclosed play yard after school to bring our special mix of play and art. We will provide healthy snacks and keep the kids busy with art projects, creative play and a healthy dose of fresh air. We are thrilled to bringing Alameda Arts to this community.
