Audra H., Parent of a 2nd grader

“Our child has enjoyed going to KBS! Every week she has been challenged by new activities, and the prompts and helps she has worked on have improved her academic skills and her routines. She appreciates the customized approach.”

FCPS Social Worker, Daniel’s Run Elementary School, Fairfax VA

“An afterschool opportunity to continue improving these skills through play, interaction and a focus on academics would be invaluable for many elementary school students. From our interaction and discussion with the Kids Building Selves staff, we are impressed by their plans to address this issue in multiple ways including coaching and hands-on opportunities.”

Jill N., Mother of 3rd grader

“Mrs. Selz provided support to my son for a few weeks last year. She asked him questions like, "what are some things you find difficult?" or "What do you struggle with?" As well asking, "what do you enjoy?" It allowed him to answer for himself in a non-threatening environment. Mrs. Selz honors the child's knowledge of him/herself and guides the student towards figuring out techniques that work best for the student. She shows genuine interest in the child and their growth.”
