"Our programs are based on the philosophy that the greatest personal learning and growth occurs when children are provided with safe, nurturing environments that recognize and celebrate their strengths, while addressing their differences. Through meaningful connection with each child, our facilitators work to understand what each child requires to feel safe and respected." [Website]
