A Chance To Grow

Overwhelmed to Overjoyed: How Supporting One Mom                                   Strengthens Community

Years ago, Destiny was a first-time mom, terrified of sending her 3-year-old, Mia, to daycare. “I heard so many negative things,” she remembers, “but the minute I stepped into A Chance To Grow, I knew this was different.”Maya and Mia today  

Destiny saw caring teachers, small classrooms, and a program built around helping every child reach their full potential. When her second daughter, Maya, joined, the teachers noticed her speech was delayed—and stepped in right away. With early speech therapy, Destiny heard the words every mother dreams of: “Mom” and “Dad.”

Later, the team noticed Maya was bumping into things and recommended a visual evaluation through the agency’s vision clinic. Soon after starting vision therapy, Maya stopped running into walls and her future became brighter. When it was time for kindergarten, Destiny was grateful that both                                                                      Mia and Maya were prepared and successful.
