About Right At School
Right At School: Ellsworth Elementary Enrichment
Right At School at Ellsworth Elementary provides a structured, familiar environment for students to transition from the school day into an afternoon of enrichment. The program implements a proprietary 'Disguised Learning' curriculum where children explore STEM, creative arts, and global cultures through bi-weekly themed journeys. Each afternoon begins with a community Town Hall and healthy snacks, followed by dedicated time for homework completion supported by attentive staff educators. Operating directly on the school campus, students benefit from a seamless schedule that includes daily physical fitness, organized group games, and access to the gymnasium and playground. The program is designed to balance academic support with active play, fostering socialization and skill-building in a safe, school-based setting. This location serves families from early morning through late afternoon, offering consistency for busy working parents within their own school community.

Safety Record
No safety concerns or violations were found for this specific location. As of early 2026, Washington State Department of Children, Youth, and Families (DCYF) records for license PL-85483 show no valid complaint findings or inspection violations. While the parent company, Right At School, LLC, has received Better Business Bureau complaints regarding billing and isolated incidents of staff conduct elsewhere, no such issues are officially documented for the Ellsworth Elementary site.
Parent Reputation
The program has a generally positive reputation among local parents, who have described it on community forums as a 'godsend' for working families due to its convenience and late 6:00 PM pickup. Parents highlight the caring nature of the site staff and the benefit of on-site care. However, corporate-level feedback on the Better Business Bureau is poor, with a 1-star average driven by complaints about billing transparency and administrative unresponsiveness.
Staff Insights
Employee reviews for the Vancouver region are mixed, with staff noting that while the work with children is fulfilling, the organization often faces challenges with understaffing and disorganized management. Common concerns among educators include 'lackluster training' and 'unsupportive administration.' Conversely, some local reviews specifically praise regional leadership figures for being 'amazing people' to work with.
