We've had our daughter (6) attend SCLC two summers in a row for camp, and she's had such a great experience both times. Malika and her staff are warm, professional, and down to earth. The kids bond with one another very quickly as I think is a reflection of the safety/ security and fun that the staff/program fosters. I appreciate the learning aspect to the daily routine. For example, our kid was able to explore and interact with classroom animals and become educated about them and how to handle/treat them. I also appreciate the complimentary afternoon recreation portion at rotating parks/beaches/rec centers etc which really rounded off the day giving SCLC a good "summer camp vibe." I wish there were more affordable, safe and stimulating options like this in Santa Cruz, and I would recommend SCLC to any parent/ guardian.

Santa Cruz Learning Center took my son from a struggling student to graduating from high school early and with confidence. We have been with SCLC for almost 6 years - Malika and her team feel like family. The most refreshing experience is how Malika takes personal interest and care in the educational success of each student, tailored to how they learn best. Highly recommend SCLC with all my heart!

My girls have been going to Santa Cruz Learning Center' after school program and various camps for close to 5 years now. They've always had a wonderful experience. It's family run and it shows in the love and care they give to All their students! All of the teachers have been attentive, creative and dedicated to ensuring the children have fun while learning something new. They are extremely flexible and thoughtful to each family's and student's needs. Highly recommend!

SOOOOO many good things about the Santa Cruz Learning Center! We've had two of our children go through their high school program, and it's been an incredibly positive experience for both of them. The classes are small, which has made a huge difference. The teachers are not only thoughtful and knowledgeable but also genuinely kind and caring. They create a supportive and engaging environment where students can truly thrive. We're so grateful to have found such a wonderful resource for our kids' education. I highly recommend it to any homeschooling family looking for a quality high school program.

My son is a freshman in high school and has had an incredible experience with one-on-one after school math tutoring at Santa Cruz Learning Center this year. His math skills and confidence have increased incredibly and he has gone from nearly failing his math classes to doing well and feeling confident in his abilities. The staff are incredibly supportive and flexible with scheduling and adding in extra tutoring sessions when he needs them. My son has tried group tutoring and math help at other math-centered learning centers without much success in the past, but his experience at Santa Cruz Learning Center has helped him immensely. We can not say enough wonderful things about the tutoring and support he has received there this year!
