We’re thrilled Sonny is moving up and are beyond grateful for the amazing guidance you have provided him while in Willow and now Maple! We have seen him blossom and couldn’t be happier that his wonderful personality has grown and evolved in your care. Thank you for all the heart and soul you put into your work. It absolutely shows through his development!

We were the first to build an environment that provided all the little things necessary for a child’s life. The child did not say "thank you", but revealed to us the hidden treasure of the man's soul. And this knowledge of the human soul, of its greatness and power, constitutes a reminder and a hope for us. The man so prepared, aware of his cosmic mission, will be able to build the new world of peace. "
