AlphaBEST Launches AB Studios to Support Afterschool Programs Nationwide

WINSTON-SALEM, N.C., Oct. 1, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- AlphaBEST Education, a national leader in expanded learning, announced today the launch of AB Studios, an innovative content studio designed to help afterschool professionals deliver high-quality, engaging enrichment.

For more than five years, AB Studios has been creating dynamic lesson starters for AlphaBEST's own programs—short, powerful introductions that set the stage for hands-on enrichment activities. These lesson starters provide facilitators with the confidence and clarity they need to guide learning experiences with consistency and impact.

AB Studios has since proven itself at scale and is now opening its doors to programs everywhere. The goal is to remove barriers by equipping staff with tools that ensure enrichment is delivered with both fidelity and energy, while keeping the spotlight on student exploration and collaboration. 

"AB Studios was born out of our commitment to quality," said Judy Nee, CEO of AlphaBEST Education. "We know that afterschool staff are often juggling many responsibilities. These resources give facilitators a simple but powerful way to bring lessons to life—benefiting both the adults leading the program and the students participating in it."

By combining strong facilitation support with engaging curriculum introductions, AB Studios helps afterschool programs:

• Ensure Consistency – Lessons are delivered with fidelity across sites and staff members.
• Boost Engagement – Students are hooked from the start and inspired to dive into activities.
• Support Staff – Facilitators gain confidence and ease in guiding enrichment sessions.

AB Studios and AlphaBEST Education provide world-class solutions for afterschool needs. AB Studios makes its content available directly to programs, offering the same proven tools that have enhanced AlphaBEST's services for years. AlphaBEST Education also delivers a full-service model that includes staffing and a comprehensive catalog of enrichment delivered daily.
