Enrichment Programs
Wolverine Wonders offers a diverse array of programs designed to enrich the homeschooling experience for families in the Four Corners area and beyond. We believe in providing children with opportunities to learn, explore, and grow in a structured yet engaging environment. Our programs are built on the values of curiosity, collaboration, and community, ensuring that every child and caregiver finds meaningful ways to connect and learn. From hands-on classes to exploratory field trips, we are committed to supporting homeschooling families with resources that inspire wonder and empower growth.
Mini Classes
Our signature program, Mini Classes, provides children aged 4–8 with dynamic, themed lessons twice a week. These 20-minute sessions introduce a variety of topics, from science and history to geography and the arts, in an engaging and age-appropriate way. Each class is thoughtfully structured to include interactive activities, reading comprehension, and opportunities for creative expression. Mini Classes emphasize group participation and hands-on learning, ensuring that children stay engaged and curious throughout the session.
Quest Lab
Designed for older children, Quest Lab offers a more independent, self-guided learning experience. This program runs concurrently with Mini Classes, allowing middle school-aged kids to delve deeper into project-based or research-driven assignments. Each session begins with a brief introduction to the day’s theme, after which children work independently to complete a challenge or project. Quest Lab nurtures critical thinking, problem-solving, and responsibility, empowering older children to take charge of their educational journey while enjoying a collaborative environment.
Life Chats
A weekly program designed for homeschooled teens, ready to launch as soon as we have enough interest from families with teens aged 14–18. Life Chats offers guided conversations on essential life skills, from money management and communication to career exploration and everyday problem-solving. Whenever possible, guest speakers join to share their experiences and answer questions. This program will be up and running as demand arrives, giving teens a supportive space to learn, share, and prepare for life beyond school.

Book Club
A monthly program where kids dive into great stories together! Each family receives a copy of the selected book, and we read it over a set schedule before coming together to discuss the story, share favorite parts, and explore its themes. To make it extra fun, every book we read has a movie adaptation, giving kids the chance to compare the book to the film during our follow-up Movie Day.

These sessions are led by Kathleen Murphy, our Vice President and a licensed Colorado teacher with a strong background in elementary education and literacy development. Kathleen brings her expertise in fostering literacy, supporting gifted learners, and providing practical strategies for homeschooling. While each family chooses its own curriculum, these sessions give parents the opportunity to ask questions, seek advice, and gain valuable input from a licensed educator who is part of our leadership team.
Field Trips
Exploration goes beyond the classroom at Wolverine Wonders. Our monthly field trips allow families to experience hands-on learning in unique settings. From apple orchards to wildlife parks and historical tours, these outings complement our in-class topics and create lasting memories for children and caregivers alike. Field trips encourage curiosity, social interaction, and a deeper connection to the community and the natural world.
