Our Values
Meet Our Founder
Our team consists of exceptional individuals, each of whom plays a crucial role in our collective success.
The founder, Ashleigh Sayles is a passionate professional who is deeply committed to assisting children who are experiencing socio-emotional difficulties. She worked in The Challenger program, an outgrowth of the Crawford County Mental Health Department’s F.A.C.T. project (Family & Children Together), for nearly 5 years. During her tenure there, Ashleigh provided personal attendant care to children and adolescents with a variety of conditions, including trauma survivors.
Ashleigh’s knowledge extends beyond caring. She was crucial in creating a curriculum focusing on everyday living skills, which included critical factors such as healthy social interaction, sanitation, and good sportsmanship. She assisted youngsters in practicing these skills in a fun and supportive setting by using engaging games and interactive activities.
