Any feedback on the afterschool Program on James Kenney
Hello,
I am considering the James Kenney afterschool program for my daughter from this coming Fall. I would like some input on experience with caregivers/ staff, help from BUILD mentors, and what a typical week/afternoon might look like. Thank you!

My kids were part of the James Kenney afterschool program for several years, up until this past year when they moved during renovations. I loved the program. The kids had some time to run around outside (or in the gym if the weather was bad), they had time to get homework done (so I didn't have to fight with them about it at home) and staff or tutors who could help them if needed, they had time to do some art, and they were given a healthy snack. The staff were always great and my kids formed good relationships with them over the years, which carried over to the summer camp program. Financially and in terms of flexibility, I think it's the best deal around. My kids could go for as many or as few days each week as I needed them to go and stay as long as I needed them to (although I usually picked them up between 4 & 4:30. And it meant that my kids mixed with kids from other schools that they would then see again on their soccer team or some other activity. All in all, I have been really happy with our experience there.
