What Our Partners Love
Testimonials from our long-time partners
Loves the Curriculum
“We have really loved the whole curriculum! We do home visits, and we see these families in their homes, or in our offices, interacting with their kids and planning activities that they can do to build their self-esteem and work together and strengthen their family as a whole.”
Aligns With Our Program
“We came across Great Kids, Growing Great Kids, and it didn’t take us very long at all to read and understand that Great Kids had a curriculum that aligns perfectly with everything that we need here for our early home-based programs.”
Lots of Love & Empathy
“I really like how well put together the activities and the information are because it helps focus on the importance of the bond between the mother and child, and the family as well, with lots of love and empathy.”
