"Master C's infectious love for what he does is so apparent the moment you speak with him. He is so warm and welcoming — I love that he says 'we will co-parent,' because I know when I drop my child off she is living her best life safely. I found a place that truly thinks of my child as their own."

He doesn't do this for money or accolades — he does this because he is a true mentor of our youth who wants our kids to be the best versions of themselves."
