Testimonials

“I would like to say that Funshop has been a very helpful experience for me and my son…I really don’t know what I would do without Funshop.”
- Tracy B., Funshop scholarship recipient

“Thank you for the scholarship providing us with the tuition needed to participate in Funshop…I was in one of the first Funshop sessions back in 1978. I couldn’t wait to share with [my daughter] the wonderful, positive experience I remembered from my childhood. The hands-on activities provided within a supportive environment are excellent. It has without a doubt strengthened my parenting skills and brought us all closer as a family.”

“…Funshop offered us a terrific learning environment with great hands-on activities. Because of this program, my daughter was able to engage in activities that would otherwise not be available to her…My daughter and I have enjoyed this time of bonding together…While we were having fun she learned gross and fine motor skills, imaginative play, and social interaction…”
- Brandi W., Funshop scholarship recipient

“[Funshop] is a truly wonderful program that offers a very creative, supportive and fun learning environment for its participants…[Our son] is in Funshop and he really seems to thrive in this environment. This is so important to us, as he is autistic…Many autistic children do not have appropriate social skills. Funshop is such a great environment for developing this in all children.”
- Chris H., Funshop scholarship recipient
