"At Take2, we get a chance to zero in on an important challenge and work on the skills needed to beat this challenge. For a lot of our kiddos, this goal centers around making friends. As a teacher, it was wonderful to witness the genuine happiness a kid experienced when he had a "friend moment"--playing games, finding a common interest, hanging out. That was my favorite part about working at Take2." --Lindsey Sitz (Assistant Teacher, 2011)
