Dana & Tom’s Story —“Our boys come home beaming with pride as they share the various life skills they have learned, ranging from swimming to cooking…”
[Dana & Tom are parents of children attending our afterschool program]
“We wanted to express our heartfelt appreciation for the afterschool program at University Settlement. As parents, it’s wonderful to see our children thrive in such a nurturing and engaging environment. From the very beginning, we have been amazed by the exceptional management team who consistently go above and beyond their call of duty. They have not only provided a high level of care for our children but have also accommodated last-minute emergency changes, including bus cancellations and school strikes, with unwavering support and understanding. This level of flexibility has been invaluable to our family.
The programming at University Settlement is nothing short of excellent. Our boys come home beaming with pride as they share the various life skills they have learned, ranging from swimming to cooking. The program’s dedication to fostering a holistic educational experience is truly commendable.
One of the most rewarding aspects of University Settlement’s aftercare program is the strong sense of community it fosters. Our children have forged special friendships with their peers, and they often speak of the educators and lifeguards in high regard.
As working parents, the safe walk escort from nearby schools and bus stops is of utmost importance to us. The peace of mind that comes with knowing our children are well taken care of during their busy downtown commute is immeasurable.
The dedication, passion, and commitment to providing a safe, enriching, and enjoyable experience for our children has not gone unnoticed. We are truly fortunate to have found a program that not only meets but exceeds our expectations. University Settlement has become an integral part of our family’s journey, and we eagerly look forward to many more wonderful years with University Settlement.”
– Dana and Tom
