Kid's Connection

An after-school and summer child care for students involved in special education


“I am a single parent; my family lives out of town, and I have limited resources. My daughter is an active child who has Down syndrome. I am thankful for the Macon Resources home-based care program, because it gives me the break that I need, which allows me to have time for myself. I look forward to it; I depend on it, and I love it. I don’t know what I would do without MRI’s home-based care. The staff are all wonderful. I praise them for the job that they do with my daughter.”
