Our after-school program is a full three-hour DESIGNER experience. It turns the eight steps into something students do — through music, art, hands-on activities, and guided play — while replacing unstructured afternoon hours with engagement and connection.
Students transition in with a snack and a moment to settle before the structured block begins.
The eight steps taught directly, through music, structured art, experiential learning, and guided play.
Small-group rotations that apply the day's step through a hands-on activity.
Students name what they practiced before heading home — reinforcing the language for the next day.
[Days, times, and site locations to be confirmed with Anthony.]
The same eight steps, taught through four modalities across the DESIGNER Block and Activity Rotation.
Navigating real situations to build muscle memory for the steps.
Cadence and pattern used to build focus, memory, and calm recall.
Hands-on art that lowers anxiety and expands emotional vocabulary.
Facilitated games that practice the skills in motion.
Every session is led by MINE staff trained in the DESIGNER system, so the same language and steps carry from the classroom into the after-school block.

Stop letting life happen by default. Claim your territory. It's MINE.
