“Sophia’s Hearth has welcomed me with as much warmth and encouragement as I ever could have hoped for. My husband, my children, and I have been offered such genuine care here. Though I know I’ve learned so much here, I don’t feel taught, instead I feel supported and acknowledged for the challenges of motherhood and care giving …Your center has in many ways helped me define myself as a mother, given me strength and self confidence.
