My daughter loved being part of the Boys and Girls Club! She looked forward to interacting with the staff and participating in Torch Club. She would beg me to not pick her up early so she could enjoy as much time as possible there. I appreciate all of the support and kindess from the Boys and Girls club family. Its been much appreciated.

I have two boys that have been attending Manatee aftercare with B&G Club for the last 4+ years. They have been great! There is no such thing as perfect, but they have really come up with a good schedule for the different age groups rotating for homework time, food, outdoor play time and activities.They have been wonderful, working with the boys with relationships in their peer groups, and listening if I had anything to discuss.The boys enjoy their time there.They are also there for summer camp each summer.The summer camp activities these last few years have been really excellent, including field trips that the boys have loved! It has made it really nice, a working parent that must leave their children with others, knowing theyre being cared for and enjoy themselves.Kudos to Ms. Kristie, Mr Sean and staff!!!

The boys and girls club has helped my family in was I could never explain. My child has been going for 5 years and has been able to experience things I could never afford. They have been our life saver.

We love the staff at Manatee academy. My daughter has been going there for after care and summer camp for the last two years and they make me feel so comfortable leaving her in their care. Everyone is so friendly and down to earth. Also Ms Kristie already knows this, but she is someone I trust completely and I always make sure she is running the site I bring my daughter to.

I’ve been extremely happy with the Boys and Girls club since my son started with Manatee Academy. He enjoyed himself so much that we even started doing summer camps as well. Everyone on staff has been hands on, great interaction with the kids and needless to say great communication with not only myself but with others.

I have had my Granddaughter at 2 Schools and the Summer Camp, ALL the staff are amazing, caring and care very much for each child in their program. Thank you for all that you do.

Playing there is fun
