We are proud to congratulate the nine graduates of Parc Center for Disabilities' Discovery Learning Center VPK Class of 2024. These remarkable children have grown into bright, capable individuals, achieving incredible milestones. Recently, they participated in our groundbreaking ceremony and helped run the lemonade stand. As they move on to kindergarten, we celebrate their achievements and look forward to their continued success. We will miss Jackeline, Maylin, Journi, Paul, Camaria, Shay, Emanuel, Gabriel, and Valentina dearly and send them off with heartfelt blessings for a future filled with endless possibilities.

In July, we commemorated the 34th anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), a pivotal moment in breaking down barriers and championing inclusion for individuals with disabilities.

Parc was honored to share the inspiring stories of seven individuals who have overcome challenges and are thriving at our center. Their journeys exemplify the power of the human spirit and the importance of creating a world where everyone feels valued and respected.

Every smile, laugh, and milestone achieved at Parc Center for Disabilities is made possible by the incredible dedication of our volunteers. You could become part of the heart and soul of our community, infusing life with joy and purpose.
