A close knit, high energy family
TOPP KIDS Out Of School Club at St. Philip Fine Arts School is a cornerstone of the TOPP KIDS story. As our second program ever opened, St. Philip is a legacy location that continues to reflect the heart of who we are—strong relationships, deep family connections, creativity, and leadership development.
Rooted in St. Philip’s Fine Arts focus, our program intentionally weaves artistic expression into daily experiences. Children are invited to create independently and collaboratively through a sophisticated art program that encourages imagination, experimentation, and teamwork. Many projects connect with weekly themes, allowing children to explore ideas deeply while expressing themselves in meaningful ways.

With almost a decade at TOPP KIDS, Lainey’s values have stayed the same- promoting emotional safety, autonomy, acceptance and love for all TK participants. Lainey believes wholeheartedly in providing a space for kids, parents, her team members and school staff that is focused on community, connection and authenticity. Lainey has a degree in dance from the University of Calgary, and loves sharing her love of this art form with the kids. Lainey loves all things Taylor Swift, poetry, and creating relationships. Lainey is all about chosen family- and her TK families are this to her!

The care and attention this team gives is unparalleled. My son has grown immensely in the two years he has been a part of the program. TOPP KIDS puts the children first and do everything they can to make sure that the children feel included, important, and special individuals. So much love for the TOPP KIDS team!!
