Livermore After the Bell Enrichment
Learning doesn't stop when the bell rings!

Hello Smith Families!

Welcome to Livermore After the Bell Enrichment (LATBE) at Emma C. Smith Elementary! We bring fun, hands-on enrichment classes right to your student's own campus — no extra driving, no juggling pick-up schedules. When the final bell rings, your student simply walks to their LATBE classroom and dives into something new.

All classes are held in-person, on the Smith campus, immediately after school. Every LATBE instructor is Live Scanned and TB tested, so you can feel confident your child is safe and well cared for.

Tuition covers 600 minutes or 900 minutes of instruction — generally 10 classes of 60 or 90 minutes each. This gives your student real time to dig into a new skill, not just sample it.

Each week introduces a new skill or technique, giving students the chance to learn, practice, and create something they're genuinely proud of.

Students spend the bulk of their time mastering cross stitch fundamentals, while rounding out their creative toolkit with basic sewing — including practical life skills like sewing on a button. With step-by-step guidance, every project is designed to be age-appropriate, engaging, and accessible for all skill levels — no experience necessary.

A handmade holiday gift: This season, students will create a special Christmas gift, something made by their own hands and full of meaning, ready to wrap and give to someone they love.

Along the way, students strengthen fine motor skills, hand-eye coordination, and problem-solving, all while learning the quiet value of patience and perseverance. Each class celebrates the process of making — encouraging self-expression and real pride in seeing a project through from first stitch to finished piece.

By the end of 8 weeks, students take home a collection of handmade creations — cross stitch pieces and sewn projects — along with skills they'll use again and again.

Hang a sloth from its branch. Give a bird wings big enough to take off. Make a bunny hop higher with bigger feet and sturdier legs. In Critter Crew, kindergartners build, test, and rebuild their way through playful animal challenges, with friends cheering every finished build.

Peace of mind for families: You’ll get a text the moment your kinder is signed in to class, and again when they’re signed out. A local coordinator is reachable by text during class, and after every session you’ll receive a photo report of every critter your student built.

Made just for kindergartners. This class is a curriculum designed for this age group, in a room with only kinders. Teachers model each key step, spoken and shown, so no reading is required. Every challenge has eight ways to beat it, so students start simple and level up at their own pace.

A taste of the builds:

  • 🦥 Snoozy Sloth: Build a sloth that hangs from its branch and won’t let go, and learn about balance.
  • 🐦 Baby Bird: Build a bird with wings so big it looks ready to take off, and see how size changes a build.
  • 🐰 Bunny Hop: Give a bunny bigger feet and sturdier legs so it sticks the landing, and discover what keeps a build steady.

What your child gains:

  • 🧩 Spatial reasoning and fine motor control
  • 🔧 Problem solving and persistence
  • 💪 The engineer’s habit: build it, test it, knock it over, rebuild it better

No experience needed. Students can take the class more than once, since the builds change every session.

Soccer Stars blends skill-building with small-sided games, energizing drills, and confidence-boosting coaching — all wrapped in a season of after-school fun. Families enroll in one combined TK–5th grade class; at the first session, coaches divide players into age- and skill-appropriate groups (typically TK–2 and 3–5) so every player gets instruction that fits where they are, with chances for groups to face off throughout the season.

Each week follows a simple, energizing rhythm:

  • ⚡ Warm-Up — Drills that build speed, agility, and coordination.
  • 👟 Skill of the Week — A new foot-skill focus each week (toe taps, turns, tricks, dribbling combos) building ball control and confidence one touch at a time. Simple enough to practice at home, too!
  • 📋 Rule of the Week — Age-appropriate rules introduced during live play, so kids learn the game naturally, not from a lecture.
  • ⚽ Game Time — Small-sided matches that maximize touches on the ball and keep the focus on fun over competition.

Our coaches guide rather than over-direct, letting players learn through experimenting and observation — building teamwork, self-esteem, and a genuine love of the game.

Returning Soccer Stars? Welcome back! New skills and fresh games each season, plus groups matched by skill, mean returning players keep building on what they know while having fun.

The season wraps up with our BIG GAME — a celebration of small-sided matches, team spirit, and a closing ceremony where every player receives a medal. Parents are invited to come cheer their child on!

With the world's biggest stage in soccer captivating fans this summer, there's never been a better time for your student to fall in love with the game — right here on the Livermore fields, one small-sided match at a time.

Make a sloth wake from its nap, a bird beat its wings, a dinosaur stomp. This session, every machine is a critter! Students build with LEGO and Technic using real motors, gears, cams, and light sensors, and every build grows in levels: build it, motorize it, level it up.

Teachers keep each challenge just right, so no one gets stuck or bored. After every class, families receive a challenge report with photos of exactly what their student built.

A taste of the builds:

  • 🦥 Sleepy Sloth: A sloth that dozes on its branch and wakes with a wave of your hand. Learn how light sensors trigger motion.
  • 🐦 Early Bird: A bird whose wings really beat, powered by one spinning motor. Learn how linkages carry motion.
  • 🦖 Stomping Dino: A dinosaur that stomps forward on its own, one heavy foot at a time. Learn how cams turn spinning into stomping.

How each class works: Every class is an arcade of levels built from one daily challenge, with eight ways to beat each build, from a first version to motorized extensions. Students build, test, and rebuild until it works, then team up with friends to tackle bigger builds.

What your child gains:

  • ⚙️ Real engineering concepts: power transmission, cams and linkages, sensors, load and balance
  • 🧠 The engineering process: define the job, build a version that works, then rebuild it to do more
  • 💪 Design thinking, persistence, and confidence

No experience needed. And if your student took LEGO Robotics in the Fall, welcome back! The critters change every session, so every build is new.

Safety and communication: Sign-in and sign-out texts let you know your builder is safe, and a local coordinator is reachable by text during class. Every instructor is Live Scanned and TB tested.
