UP TO ME! welcomes the new age of positive parenting as we come together to empower our children to be the BEST they can be by believing in their greatness and untapped potential. The act of empowering children is a process that parents and educators often overlook (unintentionally) yet it is one of the most vital contributing factors in raising our leaders and creating our success stories of tomorrow. Too often, we seem to focus wholeheartedly on academia and strive to produce outstanding test results instead of producing outstanding people. We enforce good study habits for the sake of assessments and often forget the roots to each student's success - roots that, undoubtedly, contribute to the seeds of their personal growth.
