What do members say about REC Kids?
Malinda tells us that REC Kids has provided evening structure for her two sons and daughter. They now do their homework immediately after school so that they can go to REC Kids. “It’s a real leverage tool for my husband and me,” she tells us. “If they misbehavior, a consequence can be not going to REC Kids that particular day, and it really works! They truly, truly enjoy REC Kids, and my husband and I exercise a great deal more because of the program.”
“My daughters enjoy the activities, but they really enjoy the relationships they’ve developed with the friendly REC Kids staff,” Michele tells us. “Besides the flexibility of the program’s hours, what I really appreciate is the professionalism of the student staff. I believe that they are excellent role models for my children.”
