Partnerships – You and me together
Challenge – Just watch me
Parent Involvement – We are family.

PREP is celebrating its 24th anniversary in 2012 and we remain true to our Mission Statement: Creating partnerships and progressive programs to integrate individuals with Down syndrome into society. From modest beginnings in a church basement, PREP now is thriving at the Woodridge PREP Centre. Over 185 families are registered for services that are tailored to meet individual needs. As well as the therapy and educational programs that help individuals reach their potential, families also connect with social networking opportunities that strengthen their ability to advocate for their own children. Our values at PREP are simply stated but speak volumes:

Your participation in the Woodridge Golf Tournament is an affirmation of support for our students. Thank you for believing in their potential and for applauding their achievements! We in turn applaud you for your sportsmanship and fellowship on the links. In closing, for parents every successful experience with inclusion is like gathering another rose for the bouquet of life of their child. In the immortal words of golf champion Ben Hogan, “As you walk down the fairway of life you must smell the roses, for you only get to play one round.”
