Hexagon: after school programming, PA Day Adventures and summer camps for kids aged 6 to 12 in Don Mills, North York, Toronto

Enrichment for ages 6–12 — After School, PA Days and Camps in Don Mills, North York. Never more than ten kids to a guide.

Led by passionate educators · nut-free facility · $25 holds your place

What we believe

What if the time kids spend outside the classroom could be the best part of their day, instead of the part everyone rushes to get through?

We built Hexagon around three things kids do not get enough of:
something to make with their hands, somewhere to move,
and someone to connect with.

  • Reset, refuel, reenergize, reflectafter school
  • Choose, create, challenge, connecton a PA Day
  • Explore, energize, experiment, engageacross a camp week

Underneath all three, the same belief. Kids need time and space to
make. move. meet.

MOVE
BEYOND THE
ORDINARY.

Discover After School Programming, PA Day Adventures and Camp Experiences designed for curious, active kids who love to MAKE, MOVE & MEET.

Every Hexagon experience is built around three things: making something, moving with purpose, and meeting new people. From hands-on projects and outdoor adventures to challenges, games, and meaningful connections, no two days ever feel the same. Find the experience that fits your family's rhythm.

MEET
AT HEXAGON.

Come see the space. Meet our team. Get a feel for the Hexagon experience.

The best way to know if Hexagon is right for your kid is to walk through the door. Book a tour, meet the people who'll be spending their days with your child, and meet a few other Hexagon families while you're at it.

The Hexagon Rhythm

Three doors in.

Every program has its own rhythm, but the same purpose underneath:
kids thrive when a day has real shape to it.
Make something. Move around. Meet your people.

After School Programming

  • Reset: arrive, settle in, and take a breath
  • Refuel: a snack, then literacy and numeracy games
  • Reenergize: get outside to move, build, and make
  • Reflect: share what they made, then head home
See After School

PA Day Adventures

  • Choose: help shape the day and what comes next
  • Create: hands-on STEAM and maker experiences
  • Challenge: creative solutions to real problems
  • Connect: explore the neighbourhood together
See PA Days

Camp Experiences

  • Explore: new interests, indoors and out
  • Energize: swim, the field, outside every day
  • Experiment: try, tinker, test, and see
  • Engage: trips out into the city together

Because childhood is about
more than keeping busy.

You want your child to feel safe, supported, and happy. At Hexagon, we believe they should also have the freedom to make, the space to move, and the opportunity to meet new people, ideas, and experiences.

Literacy & Numeracy, Built In

A Head Start

Literacy and numeracy run through the afternoon as hands-on games rather than worksheets, plus a reading block where kids enjoy a rotation of books every week in our living library.

No Long Commitment

Flexible By Design

Month-to-month after school. Single days for PA Days. Single weeks for camp. Custom packages available. Start anytime.

Educator-Designed

Purpose Behind It

Built by experienced educators. Every afternoon is planned with a purpose.

STEAM & Baking

Hands-On

Science, tech, art, maker projects and real baking in the kitchen studio.

Outdoor & Active

Every Week

Movement, fresh air and active play built into every single day.

Confidence & Community

Growth That Lasts

Independence, resilience and friendships that carry beyond the program.

They come home with
something to show for it.

Instead of hours on a screen, hours are spent making, moving and meeting.
New skills, new ideas, and something to tell you about at dinner.
You get the evening back too.

Our Story

We think childhood should
have more room in it.

Room to make

something with your hands.

Room to move

your body and explore the world.

Room to meet

new people and find your place.

Kids spend so much of their day being told where to be,
what to do, and what comes next.
When school ends, we wanted to create something different.

Not another class. Not more sitting.
Not a place to simply pass the time.

A place to make. move. meet.

The four of us founded and ran Amani School Experiential Academy, where we saw firsthand how much kids flourish when they have the freedom to choose, meaningful experiences, and a community that believes in them. We loved what we built at Amani, and we wanted to carry that spirit beyond the school day.

That’s Hexagon.

Afternoons, PA Days, and camp weeks built around what kids need
and love: time to make, space to move, and a place to meet.

Safety first

And the part parents
think about first.

Answered plainly, before you have to ask.

Small groups, always

Never more than ten kids to a guide. Small enough that every kid is known by name, not counted in a crowd.

First-aid qualified and RECE-led

Our guides hold current first aid certification, so the person with your child knows what to do in an emergency. Hexagon is led by Registered Early Childhood Educators.

Vulnerable Sector Check

Every member of our team completes a Vulnerable Sector Check before working with our kids.

Nut-free facility

No nuts on site, for anyone. Tell us about any allergy when you register and we plan the day around it. If your child needs medication during the day — an inhaler, an EpiPen, anything prescribed — tell us at registration; the authorization form is in your registration package.

Every child is different

If your child needs extra support, tell us before you enrol. Bring us the details, whether that is an IEP, a diagnosis, or simply what you have learned as their parent. We can very often make it work, but only if we know.

Photo permissions

Photo and social media permissions are yours to set, in your registration package.

Parent Stories

Don’t just take our word for it.

They Make. They Move. They Meet. They Tell.

Hear what families have to say:

From our son’s perspective, he came home every day excited to talk about the time he spent outdoors, the curious new experiment or task they tackled, and the friends he was making. The environment is clearly stimulating and fun, allowing kids to just be kids while also engaging their minds in creative ways.

Parent of a Grade 2 learner

“We go on a lot of adventures and do lots of experiences.”

Grade 5 learner

The emphasis on outdoor play and experiential learning has been such a gift. Whether it’s exploring nature, skating in the winter, or strumming the ukulele class, every day feels like an adventure that truly engages the whole child.

Parent of a Grade 1 learner

“Everyone is very respectful and friendly. It just feels like home.”

Grade 3 learner

We are incredibly grateful to the dedicated staff. Their care and attention to each child is evident, and we were so touched to receive personal feedback about our son’s curious ways, which they clearly noticed and cherished.

Parent of a Grade 1 learner

“I like that we do real life activities, like cooking, building, and exploring nature.”

Grade 6 learner

The learning approach is truly unique, hands-on, project-based, and rooted in nature. They’re not just memorizing facts, they’re developing real skills, setting their own goals, and becoming curious, confident learners.

Parent of a Grade 2 and 3 learner

“I like that we get brain breaks to move around and not just sit all day.”

Grade 4 learner

As parents, we especially appreciate the thoughtful integration of daily math and English work. This unique approach keeps learning consistent in a relaxed, pressure-free way and makes the transition back to school in September seamless.

Parent of a Grade 1 learner

“We get to choose passion projects based on what we’re interested in.”

Grade 2 learner
Beyond the Studio

There’s a whole
world outside.

Hexagon goes beyond four walls.
Our neighbourhood becomes part of the experience,
giving kids space to explore, discover, and connect
with the world around them.

We're in the Six, so we ride the TTC.

On foot into the neighbourhood on a PA Day,
and further out across a camp week.

The city isn't a backdrop. It's a part of the program.

Right next door

Outside, every season.

Broadlands Community Centre and Broadlands Park sit walking distance from our front door, so the season changes what we do, not whether we go out.

Warm weather

  • Swimming pool
  • Baseball diamond
  • Outdoor tennis & pickleball courts

Cold weather

  • Hockey rink
  • Tobogganing hill
  • Small outdoor fitness court

All year

  • Ravine walks
  • The big field
  • Playground

Not a field trip. Just how our days work.

The Hexagon Experience

What is Hexagon really about?

The bit everyone wants to know first.

Hexagon is a hands-on enrichment program for kids aged 6–12. Through After School Programming, PA Day Adventures and Camp Experiences, kids spend their time making, moving and meeting.

No. Hexagon is an enrichment program. Your child is supervised the whole time by first-aid qualified, Vulnerable Sector Checked guides, but the hours are planned around hands-on projects, movement and outdoor exploration rather than filling time.

We don’t believe kids need more time simply being kept busy. They need opportunities to MAKE, MOVE and MEET. Every Hexagon experience is designed to spark curiosity, build confidence and give kids something meaningful to do, discover or create.

It depends on the day. Kids might build something, experiment with an idea, cook, create, play games, head outside, solve a challenge, work on a project or explore something they’re curious about.

No two days need to feel the same. Kids have a menu of activities to choose from, giving them the freedom to follow their interests and make the experience their own.

Ages 6 to 12 are together. Older kids get opportunities to lead, younger kids get opportunities to grow, and activities are designed so everyone has something to contribute and something to learn.

Both. We provide a thoughtfully planned rhythm for the day while leaving plenty of room for choice, creativity and conversation. Kids know what to expect, but they also have the freedom to follow an idea, explore an interest or take an experience in a new direction.

Hexagon programming is designed by educators who understand how kids learn best: through doing, questioning, creating, moving and working with others. Every experience has a purpose behind it.

Absolutely. Every day includes outdoor time because kids need room to move, explore and reset. Three of our five blocks take place outside whenever the weather allows, giving them a chance to be active, creative and connected beyond the walls of our studio.

On camp weeks, yes, and it’s one of the best parts. We’re in the Six, so the whole city is part of the experience, and the trip itself is half the adventure.

On PA Days, we stay local and explore on foot. Our community block takes us to the park and other places around the neighbourhood, all within walking distance.

For After School, we keep things close to home too. Our big field gives us plenty of space for fitness, movement, outdoor games and activities that get kids moving and working together.

The Details

The important stuff, made simple.

Where, when, and what to pack.

Hexagon is at 36 Broadlands Blvd, in the Broadlands community of Don Mills, North York, in a quiet Toronto neighbourhood that becomes part of the experience. We’re close to Broadlands Public School (TDSB), St. Catherine Catholic School (TCDSB), Cassandra Public School (TDSB), Three Valleys Public School (TDSB), Norman Ingram Public School (TDSB) and St. Bonaventure Catholic School (TCDSB), and an easy drive from across Don Mills, North York, East York, Leaside, Victoria Village, Parkwoods and the wider Toronto area.

We’re in the Six, and we make the most of it.

Get directions or book a visit →

Hexagon is built for kids aged 6 to 12 — generally Grades 1 to 6 at school.

After School Programming runs 3:00 PM to 6:00 PM on scheduled school days. There are two schedules to choose from: Mon / Wed / Fri or Tue / Thu. Pick the one that works best for your family, and your child stays on that schedule.

PA Day Adventures run 8:30 AM to 4:00 PM on scheduled PA Days.

Camp Experiences run 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM, Monday to Friday.
Extended hours from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM are $50 a week.

Everything is summarized in the details section.

Three terms a year: September to December, January to March, and April to June. Your child stays on one track for a full term so the group stays together.

Want to change tracks? Tell us any time and we’ll move them at the start of the next term.

$375 a month on Mon / Wed / Fri, or $275 on Tue / Thu, plus HST.
The season runs from September 8, 2026 to June 18, 2027.

Your monthly fee stays the same throughout the season, including months with school breaks. You’re paying for your child’s place in the program, not for individual days attended.

Yes. After School runs on scheduled school days only, so it doesn’t run when school is closed for a PA Day.

Want to join us that day? PA Day Adventures are available separately at $65 for families enrolled in After School Programming for at least one month, and $75 otherwise.

Hexagon is a drop-off and pick-up program. Families drop their child off at 36 Broadlands Blvd and take them home at the end of the day. We’re close to Broadlands Public School (TDSB), St. Catherine Catholic School (TCDSB), Cassandra Public School (TDSB), Three Valleys Public School (TDSB), Norman Ingram Public School (TDSB) and St. Bonaventure Catholic School (TCDSB), and an easy drive from across Don Mills, North York, East York, Leaside, Victoria Village, Parkwoods and the wider Toronto area.

Tell us at registration who else is authorized to pick your child up, and let us know ahead of time if someone different is coming on a given day.

Families receive important program information through email before their child’s experience, along with updates and reminders when needed. We want parents to feel informed without being overwhelmed.

You’ll know the plan ahead of time, and we ask for your written consent before your child goes off site.

That depends on the program and the day’s activities. We recommend comfortable clothing, a refillable water bottle, a set of extra clothes, weather-appropriate clothing and indoor shoes. Because we go outside in most weather, a waterproof layer and boots are worth keeping in their bag. Specific packing details are provided before each program.

Hexagon is a nut-free facility. Let us know about any allergies at registration so we can plan accordingly.

Please send a nut-free snack from home for After School.

For PA Days and camp weeks, please pack a nut-free lunch and a few snacks to keep them fueled, happy, and ready for whatever the day brings.

We have a fridge and microwave available for every program, so you’re welcome to send food that needs to be kept cold or warmed up.

We don’t wait for perfect weather to go outside. We embrace what the day brings.

Rain means puddles, muddy adventures, and experiencing the outdoors a little differently.

If the public school boards close for weather, we close too. We’ll email you as early as we can.

Call and let us know. The full pick-up policy is in your registration package.

That’s completely normal. Our guides focus on creating a welcoming environment where kids can take their time, find their people and discover something that interests them. We want every kid to feel like they belong at Hexagon.

Just let us know. A message or a call before the start of the day is all we need.

Registration & Offers

Ready to Make Your Move?

How to get started, and every way to save.

Registration is open year-round. Families can register for available After School Programming, PA Day Adventures and Camp Experiences throughout the year. If a program is full, you can join the waitlist and we’ll let you know when a spot becomes available. We’ll always do our best to accommodate every family who wants to join the Hexagon community. Register Now →

After School Programming is month to month. Give us at least two weeks’ notice before the end of your current month, and we’ll save your spot for a future month that works with your schedule.

For PA Days and camp weeks, let us know at least 7 days before the date and we’ll move your booking to another available date. Cancellations made less than 7 days before the date can’t be moved or refunded, as we may not have enough time to fill the spot. If something unexpected comes up, reach out. We’ll always do our best to work with you.

It works the other way too. If we ever have to cancel a date, you get at least 7 days’ notice and your choice of a full refund or a move to another date.

A $25 deposit per child holds your place, whatever you’re booking. It comes off your first payment, so it’s not an extra cost.

Plans change? Just let us know. We’ll keep your deposit on file and apply it when your child is ready to join. See all six offers →

Yes. Bring the whole crew. Your second child gets 10% off, on everything: monthly fees, camp weeks and PA Days.

Refer a family and get $50 off a month or a camp week when they enroll. Just have them mention your name when they get in touch so we can connect the dots.

To claim it you need to be enrolled with us already, and the family you refer needs to be new to Hexagon. Your credit lands once they’ve completed their first full month, and it’s one referral credit per month.

Yes. You take $20 off every camp week booked, $345 a week instead of $365, for as long as you are enrolled with us after school.

Registration is open now for every week on the calendar, and rates are lowest when a season first opens, so the earlier you book the better the price.

Live in different school districts but want your kids to spend the PA Day together? Carpool and you both save 10%. It’s our carpool discount for families travelling a little further to join us, and a great excuse to bring a friend along for the day.

The sibling discount always applies, on everything, on top of anything else. Beyond that, it’s one promotion per booking, so choose the deal that works best for you.
