TESTIMONIALS FROM PARENTS

  • “They are gifted students, but public schools don’t give them these opportunities. ACAM has helped us grow as a family and accomplish objectives we never thought possible.”

    -Maria

  • "ACAM helps my children learn music instead of wasting time on the phone or television. It means a lot to me and I am very grateful."

    -Estela

  • "ACAM is a unique and supportive space that has helped my daughter develop talents she could not develop elsewhere. She loves music, singing, and I am impressed to see how confident she feels even singing in public in from of strangers. I greatly appreciate learning about this wonderful project."

    -Paola

  • "Thank you! I needed to make up what the [public] after-school program promised but has not delivered. There’s no art, music, and dance involved. I wanted desperately to find everything ACAM offers, and where it could be free. You are planting little seeds in my children and others that will impact future generations to come. Thank you for sharing the beautiful treasure of the arts and making it possible for my children to become enriched with them!"

    -Sara

  • "They keep themselves busy with music instead of being at home without learning anything and ACAM helps us a lot with our children."

    -Teodosia

  • "It is rare to find classes for children under 5 years old. The classes that exist are too expensive. My daughter always wanted ballet class and thanks to ACAM she was able to have them. Now she loves to dance and she is beginning to have more confidence."

    -C. Diaz

  • "Personally, it has helped her to be disciplined in everything she has to do."

    -M. R.

    -E.

    -F.J.

  • "My daughter feels like she’s part of a team. Additionally, she’s constantly doing her dances out in public - even in grocery shops! Her self-esteem is were it shows."
