IT IS A GOOD SCHOOL FOR YOUR KIDS GO TO IT NOW

★★★★★Suhey Terrazas

We’ve been part of this Boys & Girls Club location for years, and I can honestly say it’s been one of the best decisions for my kids and our family. The staff here are not only professional they genuinely care. From the front desk to the directors and every program leader in between, they treat the kids with patience, kindness, and respect. You can tell they love what they do, and it shows in how much the kids grow socially, emotionally, and academically. I’ve seen firsthand how they go above and beyond to create a safe, fun, and supportive environment every single day. The programs are thoughtful, engaging, and age-appropriate, and the directors are always open to communication and feedback. To be honest, although the price is a little high, it is still worth every single penny. You can’t put a price on the peace of mind that comes from knowing your kids are in such good hands Any negative comments just don’t line up with our experience at all. This club has been a second home for our kids, and we’re incredibly grateful for the positive impact it continues to have on our family. Highly, highly recommend!

My niece has attended this boys and girls club for a year, and My sister and I were comforted by their zero-tolerance policy for kids touching other kids. I am disappointed to hear that a boy inappropriately touched my niece on the butt and the child has not been punished, my niece told Mr.Xavier when it happened. Yet when my sister went to the staff manager he was not informed. A zero-tolerance policy means the child should be expelled or suspended from the program. It happened again and still, this child has not been reprimanded and at this point, it is the staffs fault for not properly addressing this issue in the first place. If you have a daughter I would think twice about sending her here because clearly the staff does not take this seriously because this kid has done this twice to my niece and in response, they asked me to talk to their teacher because they're in the same class at school. It's clear that their teacher actually disciplines the students which is why he doesn't touch girls inappropriately in school. The Boys and Girls Club should be able to do the same and ensure a safe environment for all the girls there. THE STAFF RESPONSE TO THIS SITUATION IS NOT OKAY AT ALL. We are looking for a different summer camp and this kids behavior from this point on is the fault of the staff for creating an environment where rules aren't enforced

I was a club member back in 2000 to 2008 I loved every second. I have had plenty of good memories. Mesa Arts Academy is one of my favorite schools that I have attended and that’s coming from a person that hated school.

All of my kids have gone here for yrs. They get a discount for the after school program because they also attend school here. The downside is I don't really know what all they do as far as free time. Parents aren't allowed in back where kids are. I attended Boys and Girls club as a kid and idk it seems they have very limited funding to do a lot of things like outside of the club. My kids also don't like that they are put into groups and will lose out on switching to the new room or activities if someone can't act right. I understand that's how it usually is, but when I went to club they had staff in every room and the kids could freely roam room to room with a few exceptions. I do really love the staff and feel my kids really enjoy all the staff as well.
