Our Advantage

At the Character Center for Kids we make a difference because WE ARE DIFFERENT. Here are 10 GREAT REASONS why we’re the best option for after school care for your child:

We offer a holistic approach to teaching and tutoring children . It’s not just about your child learning well, it’s also about your child learning to live right. Through character development, we assist in the personal, educational, physical, social, and emotional development of your child. Yes, succeeding in school is great, but we believe that life-long success is even better.

We provide “classroom shadowing” for your child. That means we will observe your child at school. We will periodically visit and sit in your child’s classroom (with your permission of course) to identify hindrances or roadblocks to your child’s successful academic performance and development.

We provide “parent coaching” to help you communicate, motivate, and connect with your child better. It is important that parents reinforce at home the things that they are being taught during the day. Having worked with thousands of children, we are well-equipped to help you help your child.

We’re living role models for your child. Our belief is “how can your child be it, if they don’t ever see it”? Our accomplishments and our life story speak for themselves, and the presence of positive male roles in a child’s life (especially boys) cannot be overstated. Click here to read our bios.

Being the product of single parent households, we cater to specifically to single mothers, because we understand the unique challenges they face. Most of our enrolled students (72% of them) come from single parent households.

We teach the “hard to reach .” When most schools give up on “challenging” students, we pick up the slack and restore them to their greatness. We have a special affinity for “at-risk” students, because we were classified as “at-risk” students when we were in school.

We offer career preparation and exploration through personal profile surveys. It’s a known fact that children learn best when they’re motivated to learn. By helping your child explore his or her career interests, we connect learning to specific occupations and careers, thus increasing your child’s interest in school.

We offer recreational activities that promote health and wellness . Your child will be exposed to a wide range of physical activities, from aerobics to martial arts, in order to promote self discipline and self confidence.

We provide “edu-tainment” for your child through our mascot performances. Promoting and reinforcing character development, Big-Headed Beaver© and his friends teach life lessons all students can relate to and learn from in a clean, fun, and hip way.

We’re not a franchise; we’re privately owned and operated. So that means we’re big enough to have the necessary resources to effectively teach your child, but still small enough to care for your child and provide the one-on-one attention your child needs.

BONUS REASON:

We’re the only after school program that offers a money back guarantee. Simply put, if we don’t produce a change you can see and make a difference your child can feel, then you don’t pay!
