G
My
name
is
anthony,
I'm
a
recreation
director
here
at
hillcrest
community
center,
my
favorite
part,
as
far
as
the
virtual
learning
is
actually
working
with
the
kids
kind
of
getting
them
back
out
in
the
world
per
se,
so
they
can
kind
of
be
around
the
kids,
because
I
know
right
now,
it's
kind
of
a
crazy
time
for
them.
You
know
some
of
them
may
not
really
understand
exactly
what's
going
on,
and
so
just
kind
of
bring
some
normancy
back
to
their
life
is
definitely
a
great
thing.
I
think
it's
a
benefit
for
them.
The.
H
H
G
Just
has
a
different
teacher
and
they're
in
different
schedules.
So
the
way
we
kind
of
set
everything
up.
We
have
three
rooms
here.
Each
room
is
kind
of
set
up
based
off
age
group
and
kind
of
grade
level.
If
we
break
them
up
by
the
rooms
majority
of
the
time
they
all
kind
of
have
the
same,
get
on
time
get
off
time
and
that's
just
kind
of
how
we
keep
track
of
everything.
G
The
way
I
feel
the
impacts
of
parents
and
the
families
outside
of
the
kids
who
are
here
is
you're,
giving
the
parents
the
opportunity
to
not
have
to
really
worry
or
stress.
You
know
if
their
kids
are
actually
doing
their
learning.
You
know
getting
on
the
class
as
well
as
you
give
them
a
safe
place
for
them
to
drop
their
kids
off
somewhere.
They
can
feel
comfortable
with
their
kids
being
here.
I
think
it's
just
a
great
program.
G
It's
definitely
been
a
benefit
to
the
community,
so
the
cost
of
the
program
is
actually
free
for
the
parents.
That's
just
even
another
added
incentive
to
the
parents.
You
know
to
kind
of
you
don't
have
to
worry
about
how
I'm
going
to
pay
for
this
or
how.
I
would
afford
to
send
my
kids
here
when
those
opportunities
can
be
given
to
them.
