I would like to thank everyone at Haugland Learning Center. My son Eithan is a totally different person since he started going to your school! His behavior is 100 % better than I would have ever thought it would be.

This time last year he was in pre-school with the local school district and I was banging my head up against the wall wondering what was next for him and whether he would ever get any better. Today we can go out in public without him having total meltdowns and he is very well behaved.When I opened my email with his 1st quarter grade report, I sat at the computer and cried for 10 minutes thinking, "This cannot be Eithan's report card." You and your staff in Sandusky are MY angels...I can NEVER thank you enough for giving me the little boy I have been waiting for the past 5 years. I am so looking forward to many more happy and wonderful years here at Haugland Learning Center!

Thank you so very much,

--Lisa Welsh-McLane
