Big News! It’s the return of FREE MyClub TODAY! Monday the 6th at 2:30pm!!

We want to do more for our homeschool community, so we’ve decided to bring back our free MyClub format! Families are invited to join us for an hour of club hangout time in a super comfy environment that’s great for all kids, shy or outgoing! Kids will get to form their own clubs, visit other clubs, and just hang out with friends over shared interests. All families must have a waiver on file and sensory play and art lab will not be open for MyClub attendees.

NEW Volunteer Positions With Complimentary Classes & Passes!

I’m reaching (exceeding?) the limit of what I can do myself and I really need to start building some teams here to make FamLab everything it can be for our homeschool community! If you’re interested in earning free classes and passes in exchange for volunteering, please let me know. 🙂

Messaging / Descriptions Are Slightly Changing

Thank you all so much for your patience as we work out our programming and messaging. We are not taking anything away, only adjusting and fine tuning how we present our offerings to our customers. We are hopeful that the changes in progress will help us form great vendor relationships with even more charters. We hope to have our new shop all neat, tidy, and updated within the week. (Also, *please* let us know if there’s anything we should add to our programming to make FamLab even better for YOUR family!)

New Charter Vendor!

We are now vendors with Visions! We are thrilled to be partnering with an additional charter! If you have friends with Visions please help us grow by spreading the word. Thank you!!

“New” Class – Curiosity STEAM Labs

Our Thursday afternoon workshops are now called Curiosity STEAM Labs. They will be focused on a STEAM tied concept and will be available as a class that can be purchased with funds. And of course, they’re still available as part of our memberships, class bundles (formally All Class Pass) , and drop in rate.

✨ Curiosity Labs ✨
A high-energy STEAM workshop where kids dive into hands-on projects that spark imagination, teamwork, and discovery. Every week is something new, surprising, and fun—because learning sticks best when it feels like an adventure!

At Curiosity Labs, we use exciting, kid-approved activities as gateways to real learning. Each project connects to science, technology, engineering, art, and/or math, while also giving kids the chance to collaborate, follow step-by-step instructions, and share ideas in a group setting. The themes rotate weekly and often tie into what we’re exploring at the center, keeping things fresh and inspiring. Whether it’s experimenting with slime, testing out a “Patient Zero” activity, designing a game, or growing hydroponic plants, Curiosity STEAM Labs combines the thrill of “crazy fun” with those golden moments of learning that kids remember.

Join us for our FREE Fall Fun Day Saturday Oct 11th!

Join us for a free and fun day of Fall themed crafts, play, & prizes! Swing by the lab and come say hi – we’d LOVE to see you! Our Fall Fun Day will be a bit smaller of an event than I’d hoped, I simply don’t have a large enough volunteer crew yet. But we’ll still have some outdoor crafting fun! If you’re able to volunteer for this event, please reach out! Thank you

Family Paint Night & Moms Craft Night

Our Family Paint Night & Mom’s Craft Nights are now live on the calendar and shop and available to book. Join us for some crafty, artsy, fun!

Family Learning Lab dreams of being a school experience for your homeschool kids.

Many of our families are catching the unique vision of FamLab – we’re providing a school type experience for homeschoolers that want community and classroom experiences, but don’t want to give up their homeschool goals and lifestyle. Lockers, class jobs (soon class pets!), games, gentle classes – we’re providing something new and unique for homeschoolers. Co-schooling is a new concept and it will take time for people to understand something new. In the meantime, we’re developing after school programs and public facing paint nights to bring connection parent involved learning to more families while helping us being financially healthy and stable. This should help us persevere through the changing seasons as we develop our homeschool community. Along that note, FamLab is for YOU! If you have ideas for things you feel your kiddos are missing out on please share! We literally exist to address every pain point of homeschooling that we can. What’s missing from your kids’ school experience? Let’s fill those gaps… together!

That’s all for now! Hope to see you all this week… @ The Lab!! 🙂
