"I've learned so much at CAP Tulsa through our training. They've had people come in and explain what happens, and how much a child’s little brain develops in those first three years. And you think, ‘Wow, I really am important!’. This is an important job, and you know you're making a difference. It's really rewarding because you see them go from an infant, to talking, playing with other kids, and developing their own interests."
