Out of School Time
Safe, Enriching, and Supportive Programs for Children & Families
MSHN’ State-Licensed Before- and Out of School Time Programs offer engaging educational opportunities and valuable family support services for students and their families.
MSHN Out of School Time Programs are designed to keep children safe and to help them grow—academically, socially, and personally—while fostering connections to nature, community, and healthy living.
MSHN’s Out of School Time, specialized farm to school programs offers a personalized, flexible learning environment that integrates stem modalities to cultivate both the mind and the body. Students participate in all stages of growing on our Heritage Farm on the campus. By combining hands-on agricultural science with mindfulness practices like yoga and gratitude, we empower youth to become confident problem solvers who are deeply connected to their own well-being. From harvesting fresh produce to leveraging technology, our holistic approach ensures every student finds a unique pathway to becoming a healthy, productive, and well-adjusted individual.
