What’s Happening?
What families have to say…
Quotes from mothers of children who attended Play Therapy:
“(My child’s) confidence and communication skills have sky rocketed since seeing Maggie on a regular basis.”
“Play therapy gave (my child) the confidence to let his personality shine through. Now, instead of moving to the back of the room at the sight of someone new, he will interact and invite them in his play.”“I don’t know what she (the clinician) did, but it sure is working. He’s a different kid!”
A quote from a Daybreak parent and Daybreak Deli volunteer about her experience:
“I really like (the Deli) for the company, the experiences and helping others.
Also being able to volunteer”.
