💫 Who We Are
Kids Are Fantastic is a community-based, not-for-profit organization dedicated to supporting working families by providing high-quality, affordable afterschool enrichment.
We believe that every child deserves a safe, inclusive, and inspiring space to grow, learn, and thrive. Our programs are rooted in love for the community and driven by the belief that after school hours are golden opportunities for creativity, confidence, and connection.
Through hands-on learning, caring staff, and a deep commitment to equity, we empower students from Pre-K through 5th grade to discover their potential — both in and out of the classroom.
SEL-Social Emotional Learning
At Kids Are Fantastic, we believe learning isn’t just academic, it’s emotional too.
Social Emotional Learning (SEL) helps children understand themselves and others. Through daily activities, group conversations, and guided reflection, children learn how to express feelings in healthy ways, build friendships, solve problems, and show empathy.
These skills help our students grow into confident, caring, and responsible members of our community.
Because when children feel safe and understood — they thrive.
We have Clubs! Cooking, Sports & Arts & Crafts
At Kids Are Fantastic, we go beyond after-school care by offering exciting clubs and activities that spark creativity, teamwork, and new skills. Depending on the school, children can participate in Cooking, Soccer, Knitting, or Drama Club. Each club meets at least once a week, giving students who are interested the chance to explore their passions in a fun and supportive environment. From learning how to make simple recipes, to building teamwork on the field, expressing creativity through drama, or discovering the art of knitting — our clubs are designed to keep kids active, engaged, and inspired.
