Our Testimonials
My son Michael has been going to Purple Peg for 2 years. When we started, he was very far behind in reading and specialists has recommended transferring to a special school. Today he is happy, confident and reading on grade level! I am certain it is because of the help we have received at Purple Peg. -M.C.
