My son has been attending one of the VHFLC sites since he was about 16 months. He's just five now, and we are NOT looking forward to him "ageing out" of the place. We have been impressed with the level of communication, the dedication and creativity of the staff, and the community involvement.

They have worked with our family to make an unfortunate divorce a little easier for the kid by providing a safe, consistent, and welcoming atmosphere for him. The one thing my ex and I agree on is how lucky we are to have found them.
