Joellie’s Journey: A Parent’s Glenwood Kindergarten Experience

In a heartfelt video interview, Harley shares the hopes she had when enrolling Joellie at Glenwood and how those early goals have grown into real, measurable progress. From learning new skills to becoming more independent, Joellie’s development has brought joy and renewed confidence to her entire family.

“The structure here has helped her in so many ways,” Harley says. “We’ve seen Joellie become more independent, more expressive, and just… happier. Glenwood has changed our lives.”

The kindergarten program at Glenwood is designed to meet children where they are, offering individualized support, therapeutic services, and a dedicated team of educators and specialists. It was first piloted in partnership with Hoover City Schools and has since expanded to serve other local educational authorities. Glenwood remains committed to building partnerships with additional school districts so more children and families can benefit from this supportive, specialized learning environment.

Joellie’s story is one of hope, perseverance, and the power of early intervention. It is also a powerful reminder of why Glenwood’s mission matters.
