For working parents of young children, there is a balance to strike between simply needing childcare during working hours and finding quality, wholesome programming. kidsLINK checked both boxes for our family. Our 4-year-old was excited to go to camp each day and often was in care from 8:30am-5pm while we were at work. In addition to getting all of his energy out in a safe and fun environment, the camp helped prepare him for entering 4K as they practiced circle time and various school prep activities.
This morning, our son marched off into his first day of preschool with confidence and a huge smile on his face. I believe kidsLINK made a big difference in his readiness to start school, and it sure made a difference for our family.”
