Rocket Club Math Upper East Side, the fun math program for elementary and middle school kids located at 1334 3rd Avenue (between 76th & 77th), is expanding to add a pre-K program for kids ages 4 to 5. The after-school and weekend pre-K classes already have students enrolled from Horace Mann, Avenues, Ramaz, PS290, Playhouse, and PS6.
Rocket Club is excited to bring the program to a younger demographic!
“We’re excited to catch kids before they’ve made up their mind about if they like or dislike math,” said Rebecca Kane, Director of Rocket Club Math UES. “At this early age, their minds are so open, and it’s a great time to start building their confidence in math! I like to call it the Nova Program so we can make kids into math stars early on.”
Rebecca’s process starts with a one-on-one diagnostic with each child. She then builds a custom curriculum for the student, often including the student’s interests, such as sports, dance, animals, or dinosaurs. Rocket Club Math students then come once a week for a two-hour session structured for individual learning paces in a supportive environment.
“We’re focused on making math a positive experience,” Rebecca says. “When students find the work fun and engaging, this is how their math skills grow – they want to come to class. We design our two-hour lessons and custom curriculums to create memorable experience beyond just improving test scores. This is how our program stands out from any other similar math program out there.”
A key feature of the program is ‘rocket fuel’, a reward system that members earn through competing in math games, and passing certifications at the end of each month. Members can exchange rocket fuel for prizes, fostering a healthy competitive spirit and rewarding hard work.
“My son has been loving Rocket Club Math this year – candidly, I am shocked that he willingly goes to two hours of additional math enrichment every week without complaint. Kudos to you and your team for cracking this formula.” – Brian, Rocket Club Math Parent
Every month, members have a goal they are working to accomplish. This could be counting to 50 for the youngest members or analyzing the market capitalization of a public company for the oldest members. At the end of every month, members take a Certification Assessment and, if they pass, they continue to the next level in their math journey. When members achieve 24 Certifications, they earn a place in the Rocket Club Hall of Fame, a feat reached by 250 members so far.
