Living only a few blocks away, we love the sense of community and belonging that WMA and the Italian Cultural Centre provide to the neighborhood. We first experienced this when we had a garden plot in the community garden it its inaugural year. When we attended the open house and observation, it was evident that WMA was a warm and safe space for children to learn and grow at their own pace. After spending a month in Italy in 2009, we made a long-term goal of returning on a sabbatical, so we feel it would be wonderful to have our daughter be exposed to some of the language and culture.
