Friday Enrichment
Beginning November 13, 2026
Friday Enrichment brings local teachers and small businesses into our space for hands-on classes that spark curiosity and build real skills. Kids can cook from a favorite storybook, plant something new, pick up Spanish, or build with STEM. Many classes are Mommy & Me, so parents and little ones learn side by side. Every class is a chance to try something new, make friends, and connect with families and local businesses who care about growing a stronger Liberty Hill, one Friday at a time.

¡Hola, amigos! Señora Melissa makes Spanish fun with songs, games, stories, and everyday words kids can use right away. It's a playful, low-pressure way to build a second language early.
Each class will focus on a different part of everyday life, like greetings, mealtimes, bedtime, and playtime. We’ll learn simple Spanish words and phrases that you can start using with your kids at home. You’ll also get a take-home sheet after each class with what we learned and easy ways to practice throughout the week. The goal is to make Spanish a natural part of your family’s daily routine, one small step at a time!
Ages: 6 weeks - 10 years
