Finding a School That Finally Understood Our Son
After years of feeling unheard, the Carters discovered a place where their son was seen for everything he could be.
When our son started kindergarten, we knew something wasn’t working. He was bright and curious at home, but every morning before school brought tears — his and ours. We spent two years searching for answers and advocating in meetings where it felt like no one really saw him.
The first time we walked through the doors at Julie Billiart, a teacher knelt down to talk with him at his level before she ever spoke to us. That small moment told us everything. Here was a place built around how children like ours actually learn.
Today he raises his hand in class. He has friends. He tells us about his day without being asked. We didn’t just find a school — we found a community that believes in our family.
