It’s a bittersweet day for the Wirtz family. Today, Charlie graduated from the Perlman Early Childhood Program. 💚
While we could not be more proud of the incredible progress he has made since starting there with their Baby Stars program at just 11 months old, saying goodbye to the therapists and teachers who have loved and supported him so deeply is incredibly emotional for us.
This most recent program (for the past three years) has truly been life changing for our entire family. Charlie was able to attend a preschool-style program while also receiving OT, PT, and speech therapy all in one place. It gave him the support he needed to grow and gave our family something equally valuable… peace of mind, consistency, and respite during seasons when we desperately needed it.
As Charlie heads to kindergarten this fall, we honestly have no idea how we’ll juggle all of the therapies without this amazing program. But what we do know is that Perlman helped give our boy so many of the skills, confidence, and abilities he carries with him into this next chapter.
We will forever be grateful for the love, patience, encouragement, and care that surrounded Charlie every single day.
From the bottom of our hearts, thank you, Perlman Mason. ❤️
