Challenge Island Greenville does not have upcoming sessions on ActivityHero right now. We can send you an email when they do.
Challenge Island, provides unique challenge-based programs designed to foster critical and creative thinking skills and core STEM principles in children.
It has, after all, been tied to ensuring our children’s future in the 21st century marketplace and to the future of our society on the local, national and global levels. Both private and public sectors report that 21st-century workers require skills that many of today’s graduates don’t have. Students need more in-depth knowledge of math and science, plus the ability to integrate and apply that knowledge to solve the challenges facing our nation.

What inspired you to become a Challenge Island Franchise Owner?
I also own a Bricks 4 Kidz franchise, and wanted to expand and be able to reach more kids, mostly girls. I am a former teacher, and was impressed with what Challenge Island had to offer.

“Taught elementary school for 6 years before having children. Have worked on and off pregnancies as a server and key manager at a couple of restaurants part time in the evenings so I could stay home with my kids during the day when they were little. Have retail experience off and on for 12 years at an educational retail store in the Greenville area.
Purchased Bricks 4 Kidz in 2013 and Challenge Island in 2014.”
