My 4 1/2 year old has been attending school at whispering pines for 2 year and she hsa gone from bearly speaking 5 words to now speaking in full sentences. She still has a long way to go in catching up with her age group, but thanks to your staff, teacher, and therapists she has made so many gains, and we are so grasteful for your school.
