School Spotlight: Rocklin Elementary’s Before and After School Program

Rocklin Elementary’s before-and after-school program, operated by Catalyst Kids, has 

established themselves as one of Rocklin’s most trusted before- and after-school

options.


The Heart of Rocklin: Jessica Anaya


At the core of Rocklin’s success is Center Manager, Jessica Anaya, who brings over 9

years of dedication with Catalyst Kids. Having worked with children of all ages and in

multiple centers across Rocklin and Sacramento, Jessica has now made Rocklin her

home. Her passion for building strong bonds and deep connections and empathy

toward each child sets her and the center apart.


The Rocklin Difference

“At Rocklin, it’s all about family,” says Jessica. “From teachers, community, parents,

family and to the PTA and staff, we all work together as a community to create a

supportive environment for the children.” Rocklin’s shared commitment to teamwork

fosters inclusion. Working together as a unit cultivates a feeling of being part of

something bigger.


The Catalyst Approach to Growth

Catalyst Kids believes in nurturing children’s development from every angle. The

program is designed to allow kids to explore their interests at their own pace, with

diverse clubs and activities that encourage growth beyond a one-size-fits-all approach.

“Each child is gift, and we make sure they feel like that every day,” explains Jessica.


Building Strong Connections

What makes Rocklin stand out is Jessica’s steadfast commitment to connecting with

others. She ensures her staff feels empowered to provide customized support to each

child, by being fully engaged in all the happenings in their lives, beyond the center. This

attentive approach creates a secure and nurturing environment that keeps families

returning year after year.
