What Parents Are Saying About Catalyst ExpandEd Learning

Real voices from real families across California.

As a solo parent working full time, it brings me relief knowing my son is participating in an after-school program where he is learning new things and making new friends. After the first day, he didn’t want to leave. I initially signed him up for a few days a week but he begged to go every day.

We absolutely loved having our daughter be a part of Catalyst ExpandEd Learning! Lots of fun activities and crafts. The staff was amazing and always had fun things for our kids to do. I really appreciate all of your time and efforts during these few months! Our child will miss you all so, so much! Thank you again!

Parent, Hueneme School District

We absolutely love Catalyst ExpandEd Learning! The program has been such an integral part in my child’s experience at her new school. My child’s favorite parts are the various activities like art, science and soccer. It has been a great place for her to meet friends and work on social emotional growth. Special thanks to all the teachers for all their hard work, dedication and awesome energy!
