“We identified a need—the kids needed additional math support. Children Rising just came in like a flood and were able to support our students who are struggling with math. Kids are excited to come into the tutoring, kids are talking to their parents, they’re talking to each other, and they’re talking to staff about how much they love being int that environment and how much they’re learning. It has made a huge impact. It has changed some of the kids’ trepidations about math and about needing support with math, and you’ve made it fun. I cannot stop singing your praises.”
