Tracy & Joe
Will's Parents
One of the things we really appreciate about ChildServe is how much fun they make the learning environment. When we can see Will continue to develop everyday, continue to learn new words, stand up and stretch and build muscle strength... that's what keeps us going. And that's what is very beneficial to us about ChildServe, they bring those things out in him. And if they come out in Will, they come out in us.
