Brick by brick, we're building a better future!
We offer Early Engineers because too many children shy away from math and science.
We want our kids, and yours, to be exposed to topics like velocity, momentum and bioluminescence, alongside a familiar friend, the Lego brick. That way, when they go off to Junior High and High School, they will be more comfortable and willing to raise their hand when these topics come up. Familiarity now, will lead to the confidence to engage later.
How does it work?
School is out!
Our teachers arrive before the students are released from their regular classes and will supervise as children make their way to class.
Classes are right on campus!
Classes are held in a designated classroom or MP room on campus, and start 10 minutes after the bell rings. Students are always supervised.
All supplies are provided!
Classes are 70 minutes, and are typically held in 7-8 week sessions. All building supplies are provided.
A new project every week!
Classes never repeat, and you can view each new project in our online gallery! Classes run consistently all year; typically 4-5 sessions.
Six things you may not know about Early Engineers:
We are a local small business, proudly owned and operated by a Sacramento mom of three. When you call us, you will speak to a real, attentive, and helpful person - no robots!
All of our instructors are fingerprinted and cleared through the CA Department of Justice. A combination of Lego enthusiasts and future teachers, all of our instructors go through a comprehensive training program prior to teaching.
Your child can attend class after class, or session after session without any repeats. In fact, your child can attend K - 5th grade without repeating a single project!
Your child's safety is of the utmost importance. That's why we go the extra mile to call a guardian's cell phone to verify every class absence, to ensure they are exactly where they need to be!
We know every proud parent or grandparent can't always come for pickup to see your child's latest masterpiece. That's why our instructors take photos in every class and send you a link to view photos in an online gallery!
Our goal is to get more kids interested in science and math, through confidence-building classes. Setting your child up for future success is what drives us and why we get up in the morning!

Frequently Asked Questions
...or give us a call at 916-419-7644!
Do you combine age groups?
We prefer to separate the grades K-2 and 3-6 into two classes so that all of the students are challenged at the appropriate level. Depending on enrollment we may have one class with all of the students- because our student to teacher ratio is low; we are able to guarantee that our younger and beginner students get extra attention and our older and advanced students are given additional challenges.
Does my child need to bring anything?
No, Early Engineers provides all materials.
