Miguel Heras7 days ago

Our son joint OAC more than two years ago. It is amazing how it becomes part of our lives receving updates on the phone, catching up with different educators in morning and evenings, dicussing plans for next quarter, etc. We can only be thankful for how our son is developing and how happy he is when speaking about friends and educators.
