“I was looking for a preschool for my son, but I didn’t have money to pay for one. A staff person at the Lawrenceville Family Care
Connection told me about the Kindergarten Readiness Program at Turtle Creek Family Care Connection. When we first started with the Center, I had postpartum depression. One of the Family Development Specialists helped me a lot. She did not ask if I wanted to come to the Center. She told me what time to be
ready and picked me up for the programs. She made me get out of the house to the program and to doctor appointments. My life would be much different if I hadn’t made that phone call. I honestly believe that coming here has saved my life.
“Both of my children’s kindergarten teachers were unbelievably impressed and thought that they had a wonderful preschool. Neither went to preschool, just the kindergarten readiness program. They were further ahead than kids who went to preschool.
“My husband comes to the fatherhood program and enjoys it. I volunteer at the Center because it gives me something to do. The people are good and I enjoy working with kids, too. Family Support brings families together and – in this day – that’s rare. At the Center, families can become very close and there are activities for us to do together.”
