With the opportunity to be included in a theatrical musical production, my son has cultivated self-awareness, self-confidence, positive self-image, and accountability, which has been super exciting to watch. Witnessing his transformation has been magical and more than we expected and much more than could have been asked for.

Mr. D's Music Club's summer camp was the highlight of my son's year. We even went to Fiji over the summer, and he said Mr. D's was better than Fiji! Haha. We are excited to check out the enrichment program during the school year and keep the fun going!
