After School Program with Pickup and Skill-Building in the Bronx 

"My son was attending the Bennington School on Bronxwood Avenue, and I wanted a place that would provide after-school pickup and provide a wide variety of activities, but I didn't know what was in my area.  I chose Nest Music on a parent's recommendation, and my son loved being there because he could express himself through music, and the mentors were so understanding and kind."

"My son Ozie was struggling with his Regents exams at PS 78, and what made it worse was that he sprained his ankle a week before the exams.  My son had to spend his school days recovering at the Nest Afterschool Center and Ms Kenya kindly and firmly let him know that the extra time spent at the center would be for studying and doing his practice tests to prepare for his exam.  He passed the exams with flying colors and Ms Kenya happily attended his graduation."

"Others would call my son a highly proficient child.  I know that his foundation was started at the Nest.  There he was being read to daily, and when someone reads to your child daily, reading becomes second nature to them.  That's what sets Nest Music apart from other after-school programs.  They actually read and engage with our children. Thank you for all that you do."

"My daughter has been through everything you can think of at PS 41. She was bullied by students and teachers.  One day, she was attacked in the playground by another student and, because the school attendant knew the attacker, she overlooked the incident. When Ms Lire arrived to pick up my daughter. She told her about what had happened, and Ms Lire went to the office and filed a complaint with the school about the incident. She stood up for my child even though the school said it wasn't a big deal.  I was happy to know someone would advocate for my child when I am not there."
