Chicago is a big city, and here at Just For Kids LLC, we realize that you have many different options when it comes to after school programs for your kids. Parents who are looking for before and after school care for their kids often ask us what makes Just For Kids different from all the rest. We’d like to think that it’s the dedication demonstrated by our staff and the way that we’ve designed each and every one of our after school programs to nurture and encourage your child.

We also realize that every after school program in Chicago is probably going to tell you the same thing. So rather than give you another marketing pitch about all the things that make Just For Kids great, we’ll let one of our satisfied parents describe their real life experience instead! The statements below are just little snippets of a wonderful review left for us by a Just For Kids parent, V. Coleman. We’ve had the pleasure of working with two of the Coleman children–a set of twins!–for quite some time and we’re thrilled by the positive experience reported in this review. Let’s take a look at some of the highlights and talk about the ways in which they typify the type of service Just For Kids always strives to provide in its after school programs.

“Just For Kids is the best investment I’ve made in years!”

We’re so glad that the review starts this way, because it points out the two undeniable facts about after-school care: it’s an investment, and it’s a smart one to make on behalf of your kids. When you choose to send your children to an after school program instead of asking them to sit at home alone or sending them to a babysitter, you’re making an investment into their future success. Multiple studies have shown that children who attend after school programs generally get better grades in school, are more socially confident, and less likely to drop out of school later.

“..The staff is all friendly and my twins love them…”

As we hinted before, this is one of the characteristics that make us so proud of what we do here at Just For Kids. Our well-trained, experienced staff takes a genuine interest in each child that attends our after school programs and treats them like their own. We meet your kids where they are in life, our staff is always looking for ways to encourage a lifelong love of learning and help them create a community of friends and mentors.

“I also like the fact that ‘homework first’ is one of their mottos…”

Many parents work late and one of the things that they feel most guilty about is not being around to help their kids with homework or school projects. When you invest in our after-school programs, however, you can be sure that our staff members will ensure all homework is completed before it’s time to play. We know how much it helps parents in Chicago to know that their kids are safe and being held accountable for their studies.

Those are just a few of our favorite remarks from V. Colman’s review, which you can read in its entirety here. We hope these real-life reports about what after-school care is like here at Just For Kids will inspire you to come in for a visit!
