The Billygoat school is literally what new parents dream of.
Angelica shows such a deep love and appreciation for each child from day one. It is clear that her gift is being able to truly see each child in their uniqueness and be able to support them. She also helped us so much as parents. She took the time to really understand us and helped us grow closer and stronger as a family.
