OUR VISION

 
 

Attention All Latchkey Kids

If you Are at home without supervision for some part of the day at age twelve and under, especially after school until a parent returned home from work. Felesia’ has created a simple solution for the effects of this complex problem, by creating a third place outside of school and home.
