There comes that mysterious meeting in life when someone acknowledges who we are and what we can be, igniting the circuits of our highest potential. --Rusty Berkus
Good News of the Day:
When Dina Abdel Wahab's son Ali was born with Down syndrome, she was unable to find a preschool to meet his needs. Children with Down syndrome do not benefit from environments where they are kept apart from mainstream society. And in Cairo, at the time, Dina had no other options for her son; if a better place was going to exist, she would have to create it herself. Determined to help Ali lead a normal life and to improve preschool education in her country, Abdel Wahab opened her own school where Ali would become the first student. The Baby Academy is now a chain of preschools for children three months to five years old. The school's child-centered philosophy is based on love, learning and play, and its curriculum is designed to inspire children to achieve their potential.
