“I love Catalyst Kids because every day is my favorite day. The teachers are always helping us and making us smile. I have so many best friends at Catalyst Kids!”

“What I like about Catalyst Kids is the diversity of every day and every week. Also, I love that it is very focused on summer activities so kids can have a lot of fun, but there are education activities so they can learn. My son has learned about not only places, things, and professional people from the different field trips, but also how to play with other kids, how to share games/toys, and to help others. Personally, I believe that the people who work at Catalyst make this program amazing.”

“I want to thank you for giving my daughter, Symai, such a strong educational foundation. Your Pre-K program really got her off to a great start! She was the top student in her kindergarten – and now, first-grade class. She loves to analyze and learn new things – and it all started at Catalyst. I now understand the importance of all of your projects and interactive games that she played daily. Your hard work, dedication, and love have given Symai a foundation that will stick with her for life. You and the whole Catalyst Kids program have been a blessing to our family and we can’t thank you enough.”

Mary, Prince, and Symai

“As busy, working parents with no family nearby, we depend on our Catalyst "village" every day - trustworthy childcare has always been important to our livelihood. We love that both our kids come home each day happy, healthy, and sharing something new about what they learned!”
