There once was a grandmother with a dream. Her dream was that her granddaughter, Kaitlyn, would once day have a place where she could experience life, friends and fun just like her siblings. And that her daughter and son-in-law, Kaitlyn's primary caregivers, would be able to take time for themselves while feeling that Kaitlyn was safely being cared for and enjoying her time with friends. This grandmother envisioned a warm, safe place that was full of laughter and encouragement for everyone.
