When the public schools open late or close early we accommodate those children who are registered with us so that parents can go to work and know that there is a plan for homework help and enrichment for their children.  The staff is warm and friendly and they work with parents and children as well as each other to fulfill our purpose of caring for children and their families.  Many of our children are the children of former students.
