Gabrielle & Reece

When Gabrielle was pregnant with her son, Reece, she already knew where his foundation for learning should begin. Working next door at the Alzheimer and Parkinson Association, Gabrielle had the unique opportunity to witness firsthand the unwavering dedication of Childcare Resources. 

“I could see the commitment the teachers gave to their students” says Gabrielle. “It was an easy and clear decision, even before Reece was born, that this was where his educational journey should start.” 

Once enrolled, Reece began his journey smoothly, but in his second year, teachers noticed challenges with his speech and physical development. He was barely talking, and his ability to express himself was significantly delayed compared to his peers. As a single parent, Gabrielle worried about his future. 

But thanks to the comprehensive programs and individualized care at Childcare Resources, Reece’s progress has been nothing short of transformative. On-site speech and physical therapy sessions provided him with the tools to overcome developmental delays.

“If the services hadn’t been provided on-site, Reece wouldn’t have received the support he needed due to my demanding schedule. Childcare Resources was crucial to his success.”

With Reece in good hands, Gabrielle was able to go back to school, advance her career, and watch her son thrive. She cherishes moments like reading books to Reece’s class and watching him joyfully participate in artistic projects. Knowing that these experiences strengthen her bond with Reece and prepare him for kindergarten, she feels proud to be part of Childcare Resources’ commitment to holistic parent engagement.

Gabrielle wants other families to know that Childcare Resources isn’t just a school—it’s a community committed to the success of each child and family. 

“I credit Reece’s progress to the individualized attention and resources they provide. Teachers, volunteers, and staff show a special interest in my son, and I can see that they make each and every child feel that way,” she says. “I know Reece wouldn’t have received this level of care anywhere else.”
