My Grandson has been going there for 4 months. he has learned so much and has "grown" up so much for a 5yr old. He went to their Summer Camp which I highly recommend. Awesome program. He is now going to do the after school program.

My wife and son go to this school and I will be joining them soon. It's a great school with great leadership for all ages. The after school program is the best in town. This is a place that really cares for all.

I absolutely love SCMA. I began sending my child here in 2021 when my other summer camp arrangements were abruptly canceled. I was in a panic as I quickly needed to find other arrangements. Master Cain greeted me upon my arrival and answered all my questions and even offered a free class to confirm that SCMA would be a good fit. I left with the intent of having my child take the free class before signing up. However, I returned and registered my child without the free class. I was very impressed with Master Cain's professionalism that it gave me a comfort about the facility almost immediately. I have since used SCMA for after school care and summer camp. It has be an amazing environment for my family! I absolutely love SCMA and the staff. I highly recommend!
