Most teachers don't get a unanimous vote of AWESOME from all their students. This one, however, does. Mrs. Pritchard appreciates that all kids learn differently, all kids ARE different, school should be fun and experienced through projects.
Listen as this Chicago suburb transplants to our town of CU with her townie husband and young son. This mom found little outreach for NICU moms locally, so when she found The Nest Postpartum she quickly knew she'd found a place to get and give support to other families like hers. Current (and local) NICU families that need childcare, meals, lodging and transportation are welcome here. The nonprofit hopes to remove barriers so parents can be with their babies. Period. Claire is one of the care coordinators that uses her own experience to help others in her specific niche of the NICU unit, specifically, micro preemies. Her own son was about the size of her forearm when he arrived. Her story, and the stories of the other care coordinators, provide a base of knowledge and empathy to this organization. Want to help?
