At Catalyst Kids, inclusive programs teach, inspire, and promote self-guided learning opportunities that let each child shine. The program serves children from infants to school-age in Before and Afterschool, Preschool, and Camp programs. Its child-led, unique research-based programming encourages discovery, independence, and growth, and it uses a family-centered approach that welcomes family input and insight. Catalyst Kids is community-minded, with programming that exists because of the communities it serves, and it operates as a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization.

Parents describe Catalyst Kids as working with school teachers and giving students support with what they are learning at school. Families report that the program has helped with children’s self-esteem and social skills and that children have a safe place to learn. Parents note that kids come home doing new art projects and playing new games, and that the experience includes both summer activities and education activities, as well as learning about places, things, professional people, and how to play with other kids, share games and toys, and help others through different field trips. One family credits the Pre-K program, including projects and interactive games, with giving their child a strong educational foundation. Parents also describe the staff as well connected and able to provide consistency, and some families say they depend on Catalyst Kids for trustworthy childcare. Children themselves describe Catalyst Kids as a place where teachers help them, make them smile, and where they have many friends.
