Studio Bella Explorers

Studio Bella Explorers

Registration is now open for Fall 2021. Click the appropriate school to learn more.

Explorers is housed under the Studio Bella for Kids program. Established here in East Dallas in 2008, Studio Bella for Kids began with a mom of two boys who wanted to pair fun and learning together to begin a great summer program. Fast forward to today and you will find that Studio Bella is immersed and vested in East Dallas and Dallas children alike year-round.

Explorers is our after school program at Hexter, Reilly, and Sanger Elementary schools that starts on the first day of school, August 16th and runs through May 27th. Our hours of operation are from 3:00 pm – 5:55 pm, Monday – Friday. Our program is open to students ages 4 – 11. If you have a child that is in the PK3 program, you can register him/her when he/she turns 4. We are not currently licensed to care for children under the age of 4. Our Explorers program is an interactive, activity-based after-school option for families in our community. STEAM is our focus and fearless creativity and fun are our passions.

Reasons for Incident Reports and/or dismissal will include but are not be limited to: injury to others, failure to follow directions and safety rules, inappropriate language, disrespectful behavior towards staff and/or others, or any violence.
