"She loved all the art and cooking activities but most of all she loved the field trips. I really liked the field trips, too because as a single parent and due to inflation I can no longer afford to do those fun activities anymore. So having these activities gave her a sense of normalcy for her summer. I also had to work in the summer so having the program all day really helped me. Thank You for providing these after school programs for parents and field trips."
