Cy-Fair High School alum Shivam Bhakta opened a new location of IDEA Lab Kids in early July at 11808 Barker Cypress Road, Cypress.

The facility offers after-school programs, summer camps and birthday parties. This fall, the business is launching Idea Lab Plus, a learning pod program designed to help families with remote learning support and enrichment classes in science, technology, engineering, art and math.

Through this program, working parents can drop off their children to learn in groups of six to eight students, officials said. In addition to their virtual classes through their home school, these students can also take advantage of supplemental activities from on-site instructors.

Programming is geared toward students ages 5-13, according to officials. 281-746-2008. www.cypress.idealabkids.com
