Every child deserves the opportunity to learn, grow, communicate, and thrive. For dozens of families throughout our community, Be Me Center has been the place where that transformation begins.

Be Me Center is a one-of-a-kind therapeutic preschool and early intervention program designed specifically for neurodivergent children during the most critical years of development. Through a unique blend of education, therapy, and family support, children are given the tools they need to build communication skills, develop meaningful relationships, gain confidence, and achieve milestones that once felt out of reach.

Unfortunately, Be Me Center is facing a devastating funding crisis.

Without immediate financial support, this life-changing program will be closed at the end of August.

If that happens, children will lose access to an educational environment specifically designed to meet their needs, and families will be left searching for alternatives that simply do not exist in many communities.

But Be Me Center is not just another therapy clinic.

It is not just another preschool.

And it is not simply another ABA program.

What makes Be Me Center extraordinary is its innovative, relationship-based, neuro-affirming approach that focuses on helping children build the foundational skills necessary for lifelong success.

The philosophy is simple: children cannot learn when they are dysregulated.

Before academic learning can happen, children must first feel safe, connected, calm, and understood.

At Be Me Center, the focus is on helping children develop emotional regulation, communication, social engagement, sensory processing, confidence, and connection. These foundational building blocks create the pathway for meaningful learning and growth.

Each classroom is staffed by an incredible multidisciplinary team that works together throughout the day, including:

• A certified teacher

• A speech therapist

• An occupational therapist

• An ABA therapist trained in this specialized developmental approach

Rather than working in isolation, these professionals collaborate daily to create individualized support plans that address the whole child with children socializing together in a pre-school like setting.

This integrated model allows children to receive support for communication, sensory needs, emotional regulation, social skills, and academics all within a nurturing and supportive classroom environment.

What truly sets Be Me Center apart is that the support extends beyond the classroom walls.

Families receive ongoing education, weekly parent meetings, coaching, training, and resources so they can confidently support their children at home. Parents become empowered partners in their child's development and are surrounded by a community that understands their journey.

This is the new wave of helping neurodivergent children.

Research continues to show that relationship-based approaches focused on connection, regulation, communication, and developmental growth create stronger long-term outcomes for children. When children are given the right support during these critical early years, the impact can last a lifetime.

And the results speak for themselves.

Children who once struggled to communicate are finding their voices.

Children who struggled with social interaction are building meaningful friendships.

Children who once found classrooms overwhelming are learning, growing, reading, writing, and developing confidence every single day.

Families who once felt isolated have found hope, support, and a roadmap for success.

These transformations happen because Be Me Center exists.

Today, that future is at risk.

Our goal is to raise $150,000 to help stabilize operations, preserve programming, support staffing, and ensure that children continue receiving the services they need during the most important developmental years of their lives.

Funds raised will help:

• Keep classrooms open

• Preserve speech, occupational, and behavioral support services

• Support operational expenses and staffing

• Provide tuition assistance for families in need

• Expand awareness so more children can access these life-changing services

The good news is that our community is already stepping forward.

Local businesses have expressed interest in sponsoring tuition for children. Professionals have offered services to reduce operating costs. Families are volunteering their time and talents. Community partners are helping spread awareness. Local media outlets have expressed interest in sharing the story.

The foundation is there.

Now we need your help.

Every donation, no matter the size, helps protect a program that is changing lives every day.

If you believe every child deserves the opportunity to reach their full potential, please consider donating.

If you are unable to give, please share this campaign with your friends, family, coworkers, businesses, faith communities, and social networks.

Together, we can save Be Me Center.

Together, we can ensure that these children continue receiving the support, education, and opportunities they deserve.

Because every child deserves the chance to be understood, supported, and celebrated for exactly who they are.
