The Hangout PDX
After School Visual Arts Program
The Program
We designed The Hangout with your kid in mind. We believe that kids should love their after school care and come home excited to talk to you about all the things they have created and learned.
We offer your child the freedom to make their own choices, explore new ideas, engage socially, and learn and grow! Whether it’s writing their own code, making a comic book, painting, playing a board game, or filming a stop-motion animated film, the choice is theirs.
Everyday, our teachers will help facilitate artmaking opportunities that align with your child’s interest, as well as teach daily art lessons that challenge our kids to explore new territory in the arts!
Transportation
We are located at 4707 SE Belmont Street. We walk to/from Glencoe Elementary to pick up students daily, Monday-Friday, at 2:20pm on the front steps of the school.
We also offer complimentary after-school pick-up in the Kool Van from both Sunnyside Elementary and Richmond Elementary, after school Monday - Friday.
Students from all other schools are welcome if you can provide your own transportation!

Kids Get to Choose
The Hangout is a space where kids K-5 can hangout, engage with friends, stimulate their minds with creative activities, and learn self-direction. More of a club than a program, we provide a wide variety of arts, crafts, games, and technologies - and we support our kids as they follow their own interests! We say yes to every creative (and safe!) idea and allow our students to really stretch the limits of what they know to be possible in art.
