    Read on to see what families have to say:
    • My kids have attended READ after-care since 2013. We love the fact that they get their homework done and have plenty of outside play time by the time I pick them up after work. The counselors and supervisors are great and my kids have so much fun that they very often ask to stay longer “so that they can play more” when I arrive for pick up.

    • READ has been a great experience for our son. He enjoys the extra outside time and playing with his friends. Homework always gets done and it’s nice knowing that Ballast Point teachers are there for assistance. We are thankful that this kind of after care program is offered at Ballast Point Elementary!

    • My daughter begged me chose READ as her aftercare because her friends were there. As it turns out- she was right. She receives hands-on assistance with her homework while also having an opportunity to enjoy her friends outside of the confines of the classroom. Through READ, she has made friends of all ages, which also helps her feel more secure and confident at school. The counselors are also caring and enjoy what they do. I would highly recommend this program to anyone who needs a reliable, safe, and fun aftercare program.

    • READ has been a wonderful experience for our daughter. It’s great to have her go straight from class to her after care without having to get on a bus or van and know she will be safe and having fun with her classmates. The READ staff helps her complete her homework so she can focus on eating dinner and getting ready for bed when she gets home. That’s when we can drag her away from READ. She usually wants to stay there until the very end of the day.
