"Rocketship is a place I call home. A place where I release my child to entrusting their safety and wellbeing while I’m at work earning wages to provide for my family. A place where my child spends almost 10 hours a day building amazing relationships and breathtaking experiences that would last her a lifetime. Not to mention the community partnerships with other organizations that came together to foster the needs of the community."
— Catherine Paige, Parent, Rocketship Rise Academy
