Columbia Valley ECE Team​

The ECE team received positive feedback from a parent whose child attends program:

Brandon really loves his time with Cindy and Sammie as well as all the friends he’s made at before and after care. You all have a great staff and Brandon has gained not only confidence but a level of politeness and respect for others. Some of which I know is thanks to your team. I wanted you all to know that your team’s care has meant a lot to Brandon and I.
