"When I first came to the Children’s Center to work on a EC project I instantly fell in love"

When I first came to the Children’s Center in 2013 to work on a EC project I instantly fell in love. I was so impressed with the quality of care and little things that you didn’t see at other centers like all the animals that I not only signed up my son to go there, but I also got a job teaching there. My son loved the 3 years he was there and still to this day (he’s 14 now) talks about his experience. I worked there from 2014-2024 until I had my second child, who I was excited to put in the program as well. The children center is truly unique and it would be a massive loss to our community to reduce the program size!
