What to expect at Caring For Your Children in Long Beach
On the first afternoon CFYC staff meet your child at the school pickup zone with a signed authorization form verified against the school office release list. Students check in with their group leader begin a 60-minute homework block then rotate through enrichment activities. Parents sign out at the front desk; every child is released only to an adult on the authorized pickup list. A text confirmation is sent when your child arrives at the facility.
What sets us apart
- Afternoon pickup. CFYC coordinates direct afternoon pickup from Long Beach Unified elementary and middle school campuses. A daily roster is verified against each school release list before any child boards the vehicle. Parents receive a text confirmation when their child arrives at the CFYC facility after each pickup run.
- Tutoring support. Credentialed staff and tutoring volunteers run a structured 60-minute homework block every afternoon in small grade-level clusters of five or fewer students per adult. Support is guided rather than answer-focused building the independent study habits students need for the next school year.
- Extracurricular enrichment. After the homework block students choose from rotating enrichment stations including STEM building challenges visual arts reading groups and outdoor sports. Activities rotate weekly and connect to California academic standards to reinforce what students are learning in class that week.
- K-12 coverage
- Reliable evening supervision. Staffing is scheduled to guarantee a 1:10 ratio through 7 PM. A closing supervisor remains on-site until the last child is signed out. Families who have not arrived by 6:30 PM receive an automated text notification so no child waits without advance communication to their caregiver.
