A Letter of Appreciation from Sasha
[Sasha is the mother of Maiia and Liia, attendees of our Afterschool Program]
I want to thank University Settlement community center, particularly its Afterschool Program.
As newcomers to the area, my daughters barely spoke English when they first joined the program. However, within just a few months, they began to blossom with confidence. Each day, they forged new friendships, made connections, and gained invaluable experiences.
The Afterschool Program plays an important role in fostering a strong sense of community among children in our bustling downtown area. It ensures that they don’t lose touch with the joys of childhood.
I also want to commend the dedication and professionalism of the staff. They offer unwavering support and create a safe, friendly environment where all children can flourish and learn.
The inclusion of the swimming program is a wonderful addition, providing my daughters with essential skills that will positively impact their lives.
As a working mother, knowing that my girls are safe and engaged in learning, communication, and relationship-building after school is paramount to me.
I consider us incredibly fortunate to have the Afterschool Program in our neighborhood. It has become an integral part of our family’s journey, aiding my children in adapting to a new country and community with ease.
– Sasha
