“I am so grateful and appreciative of the time and care the caregivers give and provide for my children when I have to work late. If it wasn't for this program, I wouldn't be able to work. Knowing my kids are at APT enrolled in this program gives me relief and peace of mind knowing they are in good hands! Everyone in this program is so wonderful!”

“My family would like to show our appreciation to the wonderful Before/After care staff members at Fallon. They always greet us with a smile and are so welcoming regardless of rain or shine! We're so fortunate to be a part of this amazing team of ladies. I, especially, want to give a shout out to Ms. A who is so loving and kind. My daughter only attends aftercare because she said it's so fun! Kudos to the all the Before/After care professionals who truly make a difference!”

“Coming out of COVID has been a scary experience for my first grader…. I wanted to try out Lafayette after care at the recommendation of a classmates mother who said her daughter was having a lot of fun. Best decision I ever made. The experience gives him just what he needs to boost his confidence and build trust again. He really has taken a liking to the Caregivers and even does his homework proudly without a fight - a really nice bonus!”

“Although the rewards are not many, I thank you for your patience, hard work and good intentions with our kids. I often hear people say “I want to do something that matters to others, something meaningful!” – and I think your work is one of those type of jobs. Thank you for caring for our children and having them leave with a smile to start their day in school. They are in great hands.”
