The season of love is here, and our program staff are busy helping kids cut out little red hearts while writing down sweet little notes to celebrate.
Our dedicated staff spend countless hours serving the unique needs of each child and making them feel at home to ensure they thrive beyond the school day. Is there an AYS team member you would like to give a special thanks to this holiday?

We are getting into the full swing of spring semester with some professional development! We require 14 hours of FSSA-provided training, including health and safety, child abuse, neglect detection and prevention, and 12+ hours of training in child development.

I see my awesome AYS staff we love you Ms. Lisa

Making STEM learning projects fun is Cold Spring School's specialty, which extends to AYS afterschool programming! Our students worked on marshmallow structures and learned more about what makes a sturdy tower while enjoying a yummy snack!

Without AYS, I would not have the peace of mind that it provides for a working parent. The convenience of being at the school is irreplaceable.

AYS is a safe, reliable, and happy place for my child to be after school. The staff gives my child the attention and care that I don’t think he would get at another after-school program.

AYS’ dedication to the children has been particularly highlighted this year during the pandemic. The staff worked tirelessly to create a fun atmosphere for the children by using creative and safe solutions to encourage critical peer interactions that have been difficult to maintain since the onset of the pandemic.

It is helpful knowing that my child is in a safe and secure environment where she is educationally encouraged and challenged through many programs in the planned curriculum.
