Parents Write:

• "It makes me feel good as a parent that they were willing to help me. I knew my son was in good hands."
• "I like the monthly meetings because we can discuss anything freely... they are always willing to listen."
• "If anyone came to me I would recommend SCEP... they have been very helpful, not only with my son but with my two daughters (who were not enrolled)."
• "SCEP knows what they are doing. We are very happy with the program."

Summer Friends Staff Write:

• "This experience made it evident to me how essential special programs such as SCEP are in the lives of these children and families."
• "It was rewarding to take these children on outings and seeing them enjoy their time at different experiences they might not have experienced before. It helped me realize that normal everyday parents can have children that need the kind of therapeutic help that SCEP has to offer and also to be thankful for what I have and how I grew up."
• "Even when we think a child doesn't understand what is happening, their behaviour from one day to the next shows that they do."

 

Daycare Staff Write:

• "There are many children currently in (child) care that could benefit from SCEP's program. In fact all children could benefit from spending time at SCEP. Your emphasis on social and emotional development is one of the least planned for, yet most important areas of development in a young child. That is why the "Day Care Friends project is so wonderful."
• "We found as a daycare team, SCEP's approach with no doubt truly helps children to express their feelings. I can't tell you what it means to the children, parents, and staff to have SCEP as a great support system to ALL children at our daycare. It is our continuing pleasure to work with SCEP as they truly put dreams into reality."
