Studio Bella Explorers

After School Adventures

Studio Bella Explorers

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 2020 and you will find that Studio Bella is immersed and vested in East Dallas and Dallas children alike year-round.

Explorers is our 5 day a week after school program at Hexter, Sanger, Reilly and Highland Meadows Elementary Schools that runs from 3:00- 5:55 pm. 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.
