COMPUCHILD Demonstrates its Commitment to After-School Enrichment in Los Gatos–Saratoga, California through Several Innovative Class and Camp Offerings

DUBLIN, Calif., Nov. 5, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — For over 25 years, COMPUCHILD has been a trusted leader in after-school enrichment, providing students across the U.S. and Canada with invaluable exposure to entrepreneurship, STEM, and STEAM education. This year, COMPUCHILD’s dedication to quality education has been further recognized with a powerful new collaboration with LGS Recreation, in the Los Gatos–Saratoga community. Through this partnership, COMPUCHILD will introduce an exciting range of hands-on STEM and STEAM classes for the elementary and middle-school students in the community, including two full-day camps, three preparatory classes for nationally recognized competitions, and three after-school enrichment classes.

COMPUCHILD started working with LGS Recreation during the Summer of 2024

Established in 1956 and later restructured into a separate joint powers agency by three local school districts, LGS Recreation aims to ensure efficient and effective delivery of community education and recreational programs in the Los Gatos Union School District, Saratoga Union School District, and Los Gatos-Saratoga Union High School District. LGS Recreation is committed to “Building a healthy community through enrichment, innovation, and fun!”

COMPUCHILD started working with LGS Recreation during the Summer of 2024 and offered traditional Summer Camps and Summer Fun classes that were very well received by the community. Building on the success of its programs, COMPUCHILD will be launching several interesting camps on topics related to Writing Engaging Blogs, Picture Frame Animation, Investing in Stocks and Bonds, and Preparing a Startup Pitch. In addition, the leading after-school children’s education franchise will launch three classes to encourage students to participate in national competitions such as The National Science Bowl® (NSB), FIRST® LEGO® League, and The National Ethics Bowl. COMPUCHILD’s three classes on Financial Awareness, Persuasive Debating, and The Power of AI and ML will also be launched as after-school enrichment classes.

COMPUCHILD’s President spoke passionately about the importance of this collaboration: “As technological advancements like Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) continue to reshape the workforce, it’s more important than ever to equip every child with the skills to succeed in tomorrow’s economy. Early access to STEM and entrepreneurial education is essential to preparing students for the rapidly evolving job market. This partnership with LGS is a natural fit, as their vision aligns perfectly with ours. At COMPUCHILD, we’ve always emphasized the value of in-person, interactive learning—especially for younger students. In an age when AI chatbots can assist with homework, students must have the opportunity to engage directly with educators who can guide them through the learning process. Our low student-to-teacher ratio ensures that every child receives the personalized attention they need to thrive. Our recognition and STEM Provider Certification from Cognia further affirm our commitment to delivering world-class education.”

In addition to this new collaboration with LGS recreation, COMPUCHILD is continuing to expand its influence, working alongside organizations such as DPIE in the Dublin Unified School District (California), PlayCV in the Castro Valley Unified School District (California), Lammersville Unified School District (California), Fremont Unified School District (California), Livermore Valley Joint Unified School District (California), San Ramon Valley Unified School District (California), and the Round Rock Independent School District (Texas).

Franchisees of COMPUCHILD are transforming communities by offering a wide range of enrichment programs across elementary schools, after-school centers, community facilities, and even birthday parties. These programs not only provide essential STEM and entrepreneurship education but also instill financial literacy, communication skills, and ethical decision-making, ensuring that students are equipped for success in all aspects of life. By becoming a franchisee, individuals have the unique opportunity to own and operate their businesses while positively impacting their community and shaping the next generation of leaders. A COMPUCHILD franchisee fully dedicated to the Los Gatos–Saratoga territory has just started operating and working with LGS Recreation.
