"Abby lacked confidence in reading and math which affected her emotionally as well. We enrolled her in the Laurel Civic after–school program. Though the commitment and dedication of the staff, she had all A’s on her last report card and has blossomed! Laurel Civic has helped with laying the groundwork for Abby to achieve lifelong success."
