Here’s what a parent has to say about a provider in Child Care Provider Network for PeaceHealth employees.

 “Julie has given excellent care to my daughter. She runs a wonderful program and has taken time not only to watch my daughter, but also to help her in all areas of care concerning my daughter’s deficits due to autism. Julie’s program has allowed my daughter to spend time with normal developing peers in a safe and structured environment."
