💜 23 years for her...Countless children & One place that still feels like home.

For Allyson, this has never been *just* a job.
After 23 years, it’s the relationships that stay with her — the children who run in for a hug, the families who become part of our lives, and the feeling of knowing you belong somewhere that truly matters.

As we approach our upcoming celebration of 25 years, stories like Allyson’s remind us that our legacy isn’t measured only in years. It’s measured in people, relationships, and the lives we’ve had the privilege of being part of.💜

Happy Anniversary to you, Allyson!
