My daughter and I have the pleasure of taking an art class with Bear and Ali each week. It is evident that Ali loves and nurtures Bear with her whole heart and soul. Bear is a goregous, brilliant little girl who is clearly thriving and well loved by her parents and her very talented Dreamer and Believer. Thanks for sharing your story.

I am now a Gramma and I can appreciate even more than ever how important genuine and loving child care is! Ali has always enjoyed a special relationship with the children that she babysat for in High School .I knew she would find a special place for her love - and she certainly has with the Lefko family - love to all of you!

And to think the people around Ali feel that same commitment and love for our daughter is the "best feeling in the world" - as a working mother. Thank you for sharing, it means more than you could ever imagine!
