Blueprint4 is 10 years old!
At Blueprint4, we serve to fill a gap, helping to connect families to the out-of-school programming kids need to thrive. For 10 years, our search site has offered a fast, free and easy way to find after school, school break, college prep and summer break programs across the STL region.
