“My daughters have not been this happy or engaged since the schools closed down. These are resilient kids, and yet their sadness, anxiety and boredom was becoming palpable. All that has changed now, and the entire household is once again buzzing with creativity and chatter and and joy. Everyone who works at Centauri is a wizard.” – Alicia
