Our organization works to advocate for children by helping families navigate through the complexities of educational rights. We work to provide a voice to families and to advocate for their child’s unique needs. We know that it takes courage to ask for help and how overwhelming it is to navigate through an educational system that doesn’t work for your child. We are the additional support that families need to discover their child’s potential and to remove educational obstacles.

This playground has three very small (preschool/toddler) play structures with slides, a train toy, and several bouncy ride-on’s.

There is a fence but not directly around the playground (a field is in between the fence and playground for part of it).
