What is the community saying about us?
“For my son fitting in is hard. When he does make friends they don’t usually stick. with the after school program this group of like minded students have formed a bond that he frequently talks about and actually enjoys. Along with the friendships he’s formed his academic journey has improved greatly.” -Parent
“They (students) are learning self-regulation. They are learning how to get along with others. They are learning how to handle disappointments and making mistakesand not to fear failure. In short, they are learning how to be good, empathetic, functioning young people.Many of our students are loving learning for the first time in their lives.” - Bear Creek Elementary Therapist
“This program has saved us as a family- allows parents to work, kid to have his social and enrichment needs met. He is excited to go every day and loves it. It is so critical that we know he is safe because of skills and experience of staff, as he has experienced a lot of trauma with unsupported environments that have lead to dangerous blow ups, restraints and social exclusion” -Parent
“It feels like the staff are truly rooting for the children in the program to succeed both academically and in their social-emotional development. I am so grateful that we were accepted into the program, and I hope (child) will have the opportunity to continue to be a part of it in future years.” -Parent
“The After School Program is a beacon of hope and support for our students and their families. It goes beyond being a place of learning; it is a sanctuary where children are encouraged to thrive, build lasting connections, and discover the joy of their own potential” - Bear Creek Elementary School Principal
