Parent Testimonials 

"This is an incredible program! Our second-grade daughter really enjoyed the weekly meetings with her big sister. I quite honestly did not know what to expect, but it was a wonderful experience. Each week, our daughter would have a Zoom meeting with her big sis and they would talk about what our daughter was learning in school. Her big sis helped make learning fun!-Chris, Parent(2023)

“The big siblings program has been a great asset to our family. Our daughter loves having an older sister to look up to! Her big siblings have served as friends, role models and tutuors. We definitely recommend signing up!-Jessica, Parent(2023)

“I think that the sibling project is wonderful! This program helped my very shy 8-year-old daughter with her confidence and also introduced her to what to look forward to in high school.  Each week, her wonderful big sis, Heaven, met with my daughter to discuss homework, friends, art, animals, sewing and more.   Heaven is great at coming up with ideas for what to discuss each week with my daughter, and for making the conversations fun, engaging and educational.  My daughter really looked forward to her weekly meetings. I can see a huge difference in my daughter’s confidence and her ability to open up.  Heaven has become a big part of our lives and we have come to know her and her family.  We are so thankful for this program and how it has enriched our entire family"-Alison, Parent(2023)
