Dear Bob,
I wanted to express my appreciation to you and the KAH staff for providing care and summer camp during an unprecedented time. Last summer, like most kids, my daughter felt isolated. I finally decided to look up summer camps for August and found KAH had a Jr. Adventure Camp (outdoors). I felt KAH had good Covid precautions in place and was comfortable in signing my daughter up. She went for 1 week and she had a great time - I had my happy daughter back. During the virtual school year I enrolled her in partial week care where she could be surrounded by peers during virtual class and socialize during lunch and breaks. I was so fortunate that this was available as it provided opportunities for my daughter to socialize. KAH played an important role in maintaining my child's mental health and well-being during the pandemic and I am grateful. Thank you to the Garrett Park staff - Chris, Iris, Adrienne, and Edward - for helping my daughter and all kids get through the 2020-21 school year, for providing many different activities (she was never bored), and for keeping it fun for the kids. Thank you to her summer camp counselors, Edward and Roberto, for providing a normal summer experience, for driving all over MD for the field trips and for entertaining the kids! We will be moving out of state and will miss KAH. It truly is a great program. Thank you all again!
Time to give credit to our child care providers, camps, and educators making it happen for our kids this summer.
I have been a KAH parent for over 10 years. Javi has attended every single camp and service they offer , and I mean every lol Day Camp, Skate Camp, Before & After Care, Kids Night Out, Spring Break Camp , Winter Break Camp, Adventure Camp, and Traveling Teens Camp. The girls don’t fall behind they have also attended some of these.
The KAH mission is : Kids After Hours
We Help Everyone, We Care Always, AND We Have Fun Doing It!
Let me tell you they have ALWAYS gone above and beyond from that mission. All four kids have memories that as a working parent I could never give them. As parents we do our best to create memories but sometimes it’s hard.
I had to share all of this because I am truly impressed what they are doing and have done as a child care provider during and after l the pandemic! We are beyond thankful and lucky to be part of the KAH family. The baby bambina is the last one of our bunch that transitioned from day camp to junior adventure camp this year and words can’t even express her happiness!! Even with all the restrictions wherever you go the KAH team has made it happen!! After spending an entire summer with them in 2020 and doing my best to keep them busy I am truly thankful and grateful for your services!! THANK YOU !!

Hey Chris,
I just wanted to take a minute to tell you how impressed I am with you and all the KAH staff. I appreciate it everyday, but it was especially helpful today when trying to do the math test. Ugh, that test is no joke! I've also been trying to help McKenzie fix her settings for a while and you swooped in and saved the day. She was so happy! Not that I am surprised because I already knew you were amazing! My kids that are at KAH are thriving because of you all. My teammates and I were talking during our meeting about how well it is going there.
Please also specifically pass my appreciation on to Edward and the other KAH person (I couldn't tell who she was with her mask on) for helping Jxxxxxx today. I know he can get moody and it requires a great deal of patience. They both worked so well with him today.
Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Heather
