TOPP KIDS Out of School Clubs / Foundation — Science

My son attended the TOPP KIDS Out of School Club's science program in Calgary, and overall, it was a solid experience. He came home excited about the hands-on experiments, specifically the volcano project they did. It was great to see him so engaged, and the instructor, Mia, was fantastic at encouraging the kids to ask questions and explore. The only drawback was the pickup process; the lines got a bit long, which was frustrating after a long day. However, once we were there, my son couldn't stop talking about the fun he had and the friends he made. I appreciate that the program fosters a creative environment where he can express himself. If you're looking for a program that encourages exploration, I would recommend it, just be prepared for a bit of a wait at pickup.

My daughter, Lucy, has been attending the TOPP KIDS Science program in Calgary for about a month now, and overall, it has been a solid experience. The instructor, Sarah, seems genuinely enthusiastic about the projects, and it's clear that she connects well with the kids. Last week, Lucy got to build a simple volcano that erupted with baking soda and vinegar, and she hasn’t stopped talking about it since. The small group size allowed for more hands-on assistance, which I appreciated. One downside I noticed was that during pickup, the area got a bit crowded, making it hard to find Lucy right away. However, the staff did a good job of keeping things organized. I would recommend this program for parents looking for an engaging after-school activity that nurtures creativity in children, but be prepared for a bustling pickup scene.
