“Both of my children have been attending Before and After School Care since they were in kindergarten. The hours of operation are extremely flexible, and the program is vital for families that have two working parents and no other childcare options. My family and I are extremely fortunate to have had the opportunity to partake in such an exceptional program.” - Jason P.
