Right At School

The program Right at School in Sauganash Elementary school is great! They are friendly, nice, educated people who make my family happy. They do the homework with my kid, all the kids are organized and well disciplined during that time. Marisa as a site manager makes it all perfect. She is funny, organized, having people skills, understandable, sweet together with Elana, Liz etc. Right at school yearly party is just Awesome and I love my doughter being the part of this very nice program. I highy recommed them.
Love the school, love this program makes my family life so easy.

Giving this program two stars is actually quite generous but they deserve it because they are located inside the school and they do give the kids snacks.
Let me tell you what I DON’T like about this program. My son’s 2^nd/​3^rd day into the program he was left behind in the halls. Luckily his teacher found him and brought him to the after school program. Another incident, the program called us because they did not know where my son was (as a parent this is the most devastating thing to hear) !!! They called back a few min later, turns out he was there all along and they just didnt recognize him ect … I don’t believe they have a roll call/​attendance process which im baffled about. They should invest in name tags at least in cases where there is a sub; they can easily identify the child. After this incident we immediately pulled him out. We could not risk a 3^rd incident from occurring where they might lose my child FOR REAL.
If you have other options go for them. This is not worth it plus its pretty pricey for just a few hours.

The staff at Sauganash Elementary do a nice job, are engaged and know my child well. I think they provide a good structure for kids to do homework, keep them entertained (even inside when weather bad out). The staff will always speak with me about my child.
I know they are working to improve upon some things (providing contact info and phone or email) but overall think it is an excellent price and safe environment for my daughter.

The Right at School program at Beaubien has been great for my daughter. She hangs with friends and meets new ones from our large school. The RAS staff has been friendly, fun and professional. My child has taken a range of courses over the past year and a half… Outdoor survival, theater and yoga. One thing to note is that she doesn’t need to be in after school care. She WANTS to be here. I couldn’t be more pleased.

I am very happy with the Right at School program at Beaubien Elementary! My first grader is excited to show me what she’s drawn or created at after-​school and she has never complained about being bored. It has been great for her to meet kids in other classes and from older grades. The program is very well structured, with time for homework (yay!), time for snack, outdoor play time, and structured acitivites such as board games, art projects, and story creations. The staff have been easy to talk to, they are responsive to my calls, they are nice, calm, and professional. We had a different afterschool program at a private school last year which she complained about every day. What a difference this has been for us, I truly think it is worth every penny!

They are very disorganized and do not take care of your kids. The site staff is friendly and well-​meaning but the administration is a mess. They misplace kids (which sometimes the site staff catches and sometimes they do not) like sending kids home on the wrong bus or sending kids to empty homes when they should go to after care.
The enrichment classes have poorly written curriculum that do not adhere to any meaningful standards. The materials for the classes and projects are frequently missing.
The turnover on site is very high and much of the staff is unqualified. The CEO must be a smooth talker because they have expanded into 70 schools, but we will see how long that lasts.
