My daughter is in the 2nd grade now and our lives continue to be affected by the loving care she received at A Child's Touch. She entered when she was two, and graduated from kindergarten there. Last year, when Faith entered the first grade, the biggest adjustment she had to make, was to the playground. Gone were the days that she could run out into ACT's children's retreat in the back 40. She was stunned when she saw the meager area that was called the playground. WHAT a difference!\r
Academically, Faith blew her teacher's mind. She stammered, ""Wh... where did she go to kindergarten?!"" I answered proudly. \r
Throughout the year the teacher continued to be amazed at the broad range of knowledge Faith already had. Her reading skills literally put her in a class (reading group) by herself. One night, when she saw her homework sheet, she lamented, ""Aw mom! This isn't even challenging!"" \r
By the end of the year, she was recommended for the G&T program. I have to tell you that each time I talked to her teacher, the look of shock on her face was funny. \r
This year she continues to amaze. Her teacher told her that she's the best reader that she's ever had in all her years of teaching. They had to put her in another math class to keep up with her. \r
It goes without saying, but I'll say anyway, that we owe Faith's success to A Child's Touch. The loving foundation she received there is unrivaled. I cannot thank them enough for all they did for us. I am eternally grateful. \r
The staff at A Child's Touch is touching lives in the most profound way. \r
