IDEA Lab is open when school is closed. We are here to help with virtual learning or hybrid learning days when your child's cohort is home, for school, on Thursday & Friday. Our facility welcomes 15 children maximum on each day we are open during school hours (note: summer camp ratios differ). 

We will ensure your child completes the assignments and class work which we are informed about. Our daily schedule follows the HCPSS or BCPS school schedule. We add a STEAM Learning component after classwork is complete. We will adjust schedules based on your child's class schedule when we are informed accordingly. A participation agreement is required, and will be emailed prior to the start of services. This is a semester long commitment.

Services will be charged at the beginning of each month. We understand that public health guidance changes daily, and will work with families to ensure credits remaining on your Idea Lab account, and valid - if the program is canceled as a result of public health directives, or school reopening. If you opt to cancel your participation, a cancelation fee applies - please review the terms, conditions, and policies displayed during final payment. We invite you to review our FAQs in detail, here: https://app.lexaclass.com/organization_defaults/xy3TTutEKBd05Ea7..pdf

Spring 2021 Idea Lab Plus closure days are 2/12, 2/15, 4/2, 4/5, 4/6, 5/13, 5/31. We do not provide virtual school spport on days when HCPSS or BCPS is closed. We are open regular hours with additional enrichment, when schools close 3 hours early.

***Annual registration fee is waived for Fall 2020 Idea Lab Plus participants***

Pricing notice - Thank you for choosing Idea Lab! Prices increased in October to cover expenses involved in running our program as full-time childcare during the school year. Prior to the pandemic, our primary service was afterschool at 15+ schools in Frederick, Baltimore, Howard, and Montgomery counties, supplementing with parties, workshops, and other short-term events. Please be assured we have made every effort to keep the increase to a minimum while still achieving our priorities for safety, quality of staff, and quality of services. Pricing also reflects the fact that under child care licensing for the school year, we are limited to 15 children daily in our center, versus our capacity of 40 during the summer. Additionally, the director, teacher, and 2 aides are scheduled to work in the center daily.
