“We love the creative projects they work on, seeing the staff work with the kids not just on their homework but taking it further and going above and beyond to work with the kids on their basic skills, communication, presentation, creative thinking, etc. They’re learning and having fun!“Parent at Eagle Heights Elementary, Missouri

“I really enjoy the staff! They help with my child’s needs and concerns. I highly recommend Innovation Learning!” - Parent at ALA San Tan Valley, Arizona

“The staff is awesome! I love how they do so many activities with the students. They are never bored. My children always get mad they have to leave for home when we pick them up. This shows how the program is wonderful and the staff as well. Such a nice group of people.” - Parent at St. Patrick Catholic School, Illinois

“Love the program, my son loves the program and everyone involved!!!” - Parent at Eagle Heights Elementary School, Missouri

“The team is amazing - great caregivers and very nice people. I have great confidence in them and can leave my granddaughter there without any worries. Gives us such peace of mind which is important to us. I also appreciate how well stocked the center is. There is an abundance of supplies for crafts, work and play. Please ensure the team there is recognized. We don't know how we'd manage without this service!” - Guardian at Elk Creek Elementary School, Colorado

“My daughter loves innovation and I’m so blessed that I feel safe having my daughter there.” - Parent at Horizon Elementary School, Missouri

“This program is leaps and bounds above the previous program. I am very thankful the school district made the change. Not only are the doors locked (this was a huge concern/argument with the previous company) but I love that each student must be signed out even when the staff knows the parent. I feel my child is safe which is my #1 priority. I also love the STEM based activities! My child loves going even on days I don’t work/need her to be there.” - Parent at Abraham Lincoln Elementary School, Oregon

“Antonio loves after-school. He was going to another after school program last year, but he wasn’t enjoying it anymore. We saw that Innovation Learning was offering this service at the school, both AM and PM, so we decided to give it a try. He loves it. He gets mad when we pick him up early. He really enjoys the activities and projects. We also like that all his homework is finished.” - Parent at Aurora Academy, Colorado

School Administrators & Staff

"Our district went through a proposal process and Innovation Learning came out on top. This is our first year in a partnership agreement, and it has gone very well so far. They started with us after a long 40-year relationship with the YMCA, and the transition has been very successful for families and students. The staff have been very professional and easy to work with. One of their stand out strengths is the fact that they have recruited and provided quality staff with strong communication skills, which got us off to a great start. Any potential issues were resolved ahead of time, and since the start of the school year, our district has not received one complaint about the program. Another strength is their program model. They are not viewed as an aftercare program; they have provided new and enriching experiences for our students. The curriculum, technology provided, and activities planned keep students engaged. Since they have taken over, the school principals have felt a sense of relief. They have shared that they feel that they can focus less on the after school program (although important) but has saved them time from dealing with issues. I have no doubt that Innovation Learning would add value to any school or district.”Jeanne Grazioli, Executive Director Medford School District

"We made the switch to Innovation Learning and couldn’t be happier. Prior to IL, we struggled for years with how to manage, coordinate, and provide solid, quality services that aligned with our mission and philosophy. We have tried both in-house and out-of-house programming with dismal results. Not surprisingly, Innovation Learning has delivered from the very first conversation. They say what they mean, and mean what they say. From their leadership to their teachers, each brings professionalism, knowledge, and skill specific to education. They take the time to hire the best and most qualified professionals, thoughtfully plan their curriculum, and pay close attention to the needs and desires of the school. For the first time in 10 years, I am thrilled with After School services and believe in their ability to actually strengthen and enhance our instructional program while keeping with the culture we have established in our school. Pure Genius. Thank you, Innovation Learning!” - Dr. Stephanie Musser, Executive Director Candeo Schools

"In the spring of 2018, the Smithville R-II School District sent out an RFP to partner with a vendor to provide a safe, secure-on-site before and after school program with a strong focus on academic enrichment, physical activity, and “whole” child development for children in our district grades Kindergarten through 6th grade. There were three vendors who submitted proposals and each was scored based on an interview, qualifications of staff, experience, approach to child development, familiarity with the district, pricing for services, and finally references. Clearly, Innovation Learning scored out at the top in ALL categories. But more importantly, since starting in our district in the fall of 2018, they have delivered on all accounts and exceeded our expectations confirming we made the best decision for our children and community. ” - Wayne Krueger, Assistant Superintendent for Support Services Smithville School District

“Innovation Learning has delivered positive results from the very first meeting. They are child centered and service-focused. They listen to our principals and educators to adjust programs and schedules as needed. It has been a positive experience for our families and the school personnel. Innovation Learning’s services strengthen and enhance our instructional program while keeping up with the expectations we have established in our schools.” - Bhavna Sharma-Lewis, Ph. D Superintendent of Schools Diamond Lake School District 76
