The Enrichment Program Your Families Will Thank You For
One email from your PTA fills a class. Journey to STEAM handles registration, payments, instructors, materials and insurance. Your PTA sends one message and never touches money. Scholarships in every program, and PTA-funded seats when you want to cover families.
We reply within one business day.
What we run with PTAs
After-school enrichment
Weekly LEGO engineering, robotics and coding classes, eight sessions a term, right after dismissal.
PTA-funded seats
Reserve a scholarship seat per class, or subsidize every family. We invoice the PTA and families register free or discounted.
Family STEM night
A build-together evening families remember. Fits movie night and carnival budgets.
Fundraiser nights
A STEAM event where a share goes to your PTA. Ask us.
A ready-to-send everything kit
Flyer, newsletter blurb, social graphics and a registration link, in English and Spanish.
A named person who answers
One program manager for your school, reachable by email and phone.
How it works
- Say yes and share one message. We send the flyer and the blurb. You post it once.
- Families register online. Through enrops, our registration system. Your PTA handles no money.
- We run every class. Trained instructors, every material, roster check-in and authorized-adult pickup.
- Your families come back. Fall, winter and spring build on each other, and returning families get first access.
What you can count on
- Screened and trained instructors. Background checked and trained in child protection and mandatory reporting before the first class, with annual safety and first aid refreshers. Fewer than 10% of applicants are hired.
- Insurance on file. General liability with abuse and molestation coverage. A certificate of insurance naming your organization, on request.
- No volunteer burden. No sign-in table, no snack duty, no money to collect.
- Equity built in. Need-based scholarships in every class, plus PTA-funded seats when you want them.
- Communication that works. Families hear from us before day one, and the office gets a clear pickup process.
- Built by a principal. Dr. Arielle Hammond, Ed.D., spent a decade in school leadership, eight years leading schools, before she founded Journey to STEAM in 2023.
“The families who participated in the program really enjoyed the program. We have heard very positive reviews!”
PTO President, Forest Hills Elementary“The scholarship spots are really appreciated as we do have students who qualify for financial assistance.”
PTO President, Forest Hills Elementary“All the children seem to be really enjoying the Lego class.”
Nicole Merino, Forest Hills ElementaryQuestions we get from PTA and PTO leaders
Does the PTA handle money?
No. Families pay online through enrops. The only time a PTA touches money is when it chooses to fund seats, and then we invoice the PTA.
Can our PTA sponsor seats or a whole class?
Yes. One reserved scholarship seat per class, a subsidy for every family, or a fully funded class. Tell us the budget and we build it.
Will it fill?
When a PTA sends the link, classes fill, and waitlists are common. Ask us what happened at a school like yours.
We already have an enrichment provider. Why switch?
You don't have to. Many schools run more than one program. Families choose Journey to STEAM for the instructors, the small groups and the projects kids talk about at dinner.
What if the principal is hesitant?
We send you a one-page brief and a certificate of insurance, and we're glad to join a call. Most concerns are about lift on the office, and ours is one flyer.
What does it cost families?
$285 per 8-week term for LEGO engineering and $299 for coding and robotics, with a full-year option. Scholarships in every program.
