I am writing this review as a concerned parent regarding how a safety incident involving my first-grade son was handled at the Boys & Girls Club program at Subaru Elementary. On Tuesday, April 21st, my son was knocked down by an older student who is several grades above him during after-school program time. He came home with a scraped knee and reported that after the incident, the student spoke to him in a disrespectful way, telling him “Don’t speak” and “That’s what I thought,” and also threatened to slam him to the floor. After this happened, my son became upset, isolated himself, and cried because he felt scared and embarrassed in front of other children. I reported the incident immediately, but several days passed without meaningful action being taken. I was told the situation had not yet been addressed and that staff were busy with other matters. There were delays in addressing the situation, and I was concerned about the lack of urgency given that this involved physical contact, verbal threats, and a younger child being involved with an older student. As a parent, my biggest concern is safety and proper supervision. Incidents involving physical harm and threats should be handled quickly and seriously, especially when younger children are involved. I hope leadership reviews how this situation was handled and ensures that future safety concerns are addressed promptly and professionally so that all children feel safe and protected.

Trash management, terrible staff, rotten kids. If you have a good kid, don’t take them there else you will end up with a rotten kid. When staff don’t feel like dealing with a child, they get them in trouble and call the parents to come and pick them up. I’d give no star if that was an option.

My son is in 5th grade and participates in the after school program at the Boys and Girls Club. He has autism and receives services from Kern Regional Center. Mr. Nick and the other Boys and Girls Club staff do a great job with Jason. I greatly appreciate them! 😊

Every time I pay for a week or a fees days at this club the proctors have no idea what they’re doing. They always try to get me to pay for days that have already been paid for. I shouldn’t have to tell you what days I have paid for. They’re record keeping and organization needs serious improvement.
