What’s New this Semester?
-
Throughout the semester, students will save special projects and reflections from their Kingdom Quest journey in their personal portfolios. At the end of the semester, families will be invited to our Kingdom Quest Artifacts Museum, where students can proudly showcase their creations and share what they’ve learned.
Think of it as part art show, part museum, and part celebration—a chance for our kids to say, “Look what I discovered, created, and accomplished!”

Volume One • Semester One: We Belong
Our first semester centers on a simple but powerful message: every child has a place, a purpose, and something valuable to contribute.In addition to the volunteer crew, a small team from the Judah Kids ASP will be on-site to offer support and take lead when helpful at any point throughout the week.Each One-Week has a curriculum specifically curated to the gifts of the host church’s volunteers. There are, however, a few essentials that must be covered in every week.
Essential Topics: Bible, Board Games, Montessori Stations, Free Play
-
Our afterschool program runs 2:30–6:00 PM, giving students time to transition from school into an afternoon of support, faith, creativity, and community. Students receive a snack, homework help, Bible study, and fine arts activities, moving through the afternoon with their Tribe according to the weekly schedule.
From school pickup through our 6:00 PM dismissal, each part of the day is intentionally designed to help students learn, grow in their faith, explore their creativity, and belong.

Brightwheel: Your Main Connection to Judah Kids
Brightwheel will be our primary communication tool this semester, so every parent should have the app set up and notifications turned on. Through Brightwheel, families can receive messages and alerts, view their child’s information, and stay connected to program updates.
Here’s the easiest way to get started:
Download the Brightwheel app and sign in. Use the email address or phone number connected to your child’s Judah Kids account. If you don’t see your child, contact Judah Kids so we can connect you to their profile.
Open your child’s profile and review their information. Check important details such as contact information, address, allergies, medications, medical notes, and other available profile information. Parents with edit permissions can update these items directly in the app.
Check your child’s contacts and approved pickup list. Make sure the right parents, family members, emergency contacts, and approved pickup people are listed. If you make a pickup change, please also communicate that change directly to Judah Kids.
Turn ON your push notifications. In Brightwheel, go to your profile/settings and make sure notifications—especially Messages & Alerts—are enabled. You may also need to allow Brightwheel notifications in your phone’s Settings app.
Check Brightwheel regularly. This is where we’ll send important Judah Kids communication, reminders, transportation information, schedule changes, and other updates.
Most important: keep your child’s information current and keep those notifications ON! 🔔 Brightwheel works best when Judah Kids and families can communicate quickly in both directions.
Your First Week Checklist ✨
We know the beginning of a new school year can be busy, so you have the entire first week of the program to get everything completed and updated. Use this checklist to help your family get settled:
Update Your Child’s Information — Contact information, emergency contacts, allergies/medical needs, and authorized pickup information.
Get Connected on Brightwheel — Download the app, review your child’s profile, and turn on push notifications.
Confirm Transportation & Pickup — Make sure we know how your child is getting to Judah Kids and who is authorized to pick them up.
Come Prepared — Send backpacks and anything students need for homework or tutoring.
Review The Judah Kids Way — Be Respectful. Be Safe. Be Responsible. Be Kind. Be Ready to Grow.
Get Ready for the Quest! 🏰 — Encourage your child to jump in, try new things, make connections, and have fun.
No need to have everything checked off on Day One—just make sure you complete these steps by the end of your child’s first week with us.

Parent Testimonial | June 30, 2024
“ I am writing to express what a blessing and difference The Judah Kids Project has made with my boys. Judah Kids has improved their self-esteem, behavior, and emotional well-being. The program teaches them responsibility by helping them achieve success in a healthy learning environment where they can express themselves through music, art, and sports. They also receive help with school homework and reading. As a single working mom, The Judah Kids Project has been a blessing for my family! I have personally seen the positive changes and improvement and teachers at school have also mentioned the improvement.
The icing on the cake is watching them take part in concerts and seeing their little faces filled with pride, accomplishments, and happiness with their musical skills. As the night continues they become eager to show off their art displays, hands-on artwork, and creativity projects. And I can't leave out their famous “Sonic and his friends” art display!”
