The Power of Creative Play
“Almost all creativity requires purposeful play.” – Abraham Maslow
The strongest connections to concepts are formed when children discover and make sense of the world on their own through hands-on experiences. Play is interactive, and the concepts children discover build upon each other, leading to an even deeper knowledge and understanding.
Whether you have a child who already loves to tinker, design and build, or are looking for a way to sneak in the opportunity for your child to develop critical skills for their success in a fun and interactive way, Snapology has a program for you.
Our programs provide more than just building skills…
We build life skills.
Self-Esteem
Snapology gives kids an opportunity to express positive emotions through laughing, smiling and celebrating success.
Communication
Your child will be exposed to new vocabulary and will practice their presentation skills. They will discuss new concepts with fellow students and our instructor.
Problem Solving
Your child will be exploring complex engineering concepts like force, gear ratio torque and how to transform circular motion into linear movement.
Creativity
Our hands-on learning environment sparks creativity as children learn how to bring abstract ideas and new concepts to life.
Teamwork
Children learn the value of collaboration as they work together on things like our fun “speed challenges”. Every session gives children the chance to problem solve together.
Math
Research suggests that block play helps children develop and apply abstract mathematical concepts to concrete, real world situations.
Career Inspiration
Our building projects spark curiosity and may inspire kids to follow career paths in science, art, engineering and technology.
Fine Motor Skills & Matching
For younger students, placing and snapping blocks into place helps refine fine motor and matching skills.

Your child needs to develop physically and intellectually.

After that time, you can cancel at any time with 30 days notice.
This option comes with other bonuses. See all the details here.
