"I’d like to thank the judges and staff members for providing their time and talents in supporting Jeffrey during the YOY competition. It was a pleasure to meet all of you. I thank each and everyone for their coaching and contributions. Throughout the process I saw him learn the value of discipline in achieving goals. Your unwavering support gave him the confidence to overcome challenges and push his limits. Please extend my deepest gratitude to Ms. Kara.  Her tireless dedication was truly the driving force behind his success.

As a parent it’s heart warming to witness the incredible influence on my child’s growth. Your mentorship extends beyond after school care teaching him valuable life skills. Phenomenal work!
