Hive5 After School
Welcome to the Hive5 After School Program for 2025–26! We’re excited to have you join our vibrant community for another year of learning, creativity, and exploration.
At Hive5, we go beyond traditional education by focusing on real-life, future-ready skills through engaging STEAM activities—like AI literacy, hands-on cooking, robotics and coding, 3D design, and engineering challenges. We see after school time as a valuable opportunity for kids to explore passions, build confidence, and develop versatile skills that prepare them for the future.
Every child has talent—our mission is to help it grow.

"It is a Great Investment"
My child loves going to Hive5. He is always excited to go and I usually have to wait on him at pick-up time because he does not want to leave. He has made new friendships and adores the staff. They do a great job of communicating and checking in. I definitely feel like it is a great investment.

"Your Kids Will Thank You!"
The only before/after-school/summer program that offers a coffee station for parents - because they know your child will be begging you to not pick them up early! Easy online billing payments, they are able to provide two receipts for tax time if you're separated, and clean facilities are just a few great benefits of this location in newmarket. You can stop searching now! Your child will thank you!
