The staff was exceptional at motivating kids, moving them from activity to activity, and instilling a love of reading at a young age. And the Kids were awesome. They were excited to be at Freedom Schools and excited to listen to the book I was reading. Can’t recommend this program enough!”

She loved the energy, the college interns, the enrichment, and THE BOOKS! I saw her love of reading improve and her confidence improve. The program is magnetic and I love it! We look forward to each summer because of the CDF Freedom Schools Programs! We still have the books she got to bring home and keep, each week of the program.”
