☀️Success Story!

“Since my daughter has started (with the Birth to Three program) at 5 months old she has made huge improvements! … Our experience has been great because our therapist has been wonderful! Not only is she giving us suggestions to improve her gross motor skills she is also looking at aspects of fine motor skills and speech. She is always intune to developmentally what my daughter should be going through.”
