“First time putting my child in daycare at a young age it has been wonderful for me and my family to see the new and opportunities to understand the world that surround us.” -Current SouthSide Parent

“A great moment was when we were able to come to the school to be in class with our children and mingle and get to know other parents and students. Also, Grandparents day was amazing! “ -Current SouthSIde Family Member

“My son’s teachers are really patient with him, it has been like this since they met him. He doesn’t get use to new environments on time and his crying can be a lot. Somehow they comforted him and made him feel comfortable.” -Current SouthSide Parent

“The wonderful leaders who chartered a new path, the educators who have empowered children to grow and become advocates for early childhood education, and the impact in our region.” -SouthSide Board Meeting
