What Our Families are Saying

“In addition to the awesome variety of classes, the staff is outstanding. The kids are well taken care of after school until you arrive to pick them up. My son benefits from each class and being exposed to something new. It opens his mind in so many ways and he’s so happy every time I pick him up. I would highly recommend this program to any parent!”
–Kids Like Me Parent

“The staff at the Kids Like Me Summer Camp went out of their way to treat my daughter and I with caring and respect. My daughter has such a great time during the activities, she doesn’t even notice she’s expanding her social skills!”

–Kids Like Me Parent

“My child has been attending Kids Like Me After School Program at Help Group for about a year. I absolutely love this program and wish it were year-round. For parents where time or access may be an issue, this program fills the gap so that our kids can still participate in activities that they may not usually get the chance due to their ability.”
–Kids Like Me Parent
