“Our boys still talk fondly of their North Wall days. They have so many happy memories from there! You created a loving and positive environment. Marty & I felt like we grew as parents with the positive discipline classes, and we so appreciate how you worked with us on our son’s severe peanut allergies. NWS was a blessing to our family and know it was to many others as well.” Lori Fritz
