For seven weeks our schools were mostly empty. At times, the directors might be in the office catching up on administrative work or in the classrooms cleaning every possible surface but for the most part, the hallways and classrooms that for years were filled with children’s laughter and singing and curious voices sat eerily quiet.

What many people don’t realize is that 70% of your immune system lives in your gastrointestinal tract. There are trillions of good bacteria that live in your gut and help protect you against common viruses and bacterial infections. Some microbiologists are currently studying how these good bacteria may also affect your metabolism, your mood and [...]
When my wife, Jennifer, got pregnant with our first of two children more than 17 years ago, I was your typical scared-to-death father who didn’t feel prepared to be a dad. I didn’t know what to expect and was concerned that I wouldn’t be a good father. Growing up in a home without a dad [...]

What Parents are Saying about Our Schools
SFAK is so much more than a daycare.…
I love SFAK, Helena! I have a 2 and 5 year old that go there. IT is wonderful to not have to worry about whether or not my kids are learning and being taken care of. I had always heard horror stories of employees at daycare mistreating children or at the very least not paying attention to them and sitting them in front of a tv. None of that applies to SFAK. They are truly the best. SFAK is so much more than a daycare. The students learn with hands-on activities and use technology to enhance their learning experience. They are taught respect for adults and peers as well as how to share and have patience. The staff is extremely easy to talk to and get ahold of with any possible concerns. The facilities are so clean that I don’t worry about my children constantly being sick or catching something. I am so happy with my decision to send my children here!
