How Our Parents Feel About PTC
PTC, Providence treatment Center. helped my daughter when I believed she was going to fail in public school. Since the 3rd grade she had been struggling and had been literally pushed from one grade level to the next, her end of grade testing scores were low; she had difficulty in Math and reading. No one in public school seemed to care enough to help her. She would come home crying every night just trying to struggle through her homework. Then I heard about PTC, Providence treatment Center. formerly known as County Christian School and all I can say is WOW! My daughter’s grades have soared. She is a completely different student and child. She has been here since 6th grade and now she is in high school. She has thrived! She is provided help and tutoring, she is given the one on one attention she has needed, now my child who once couldn’t multiply is now excelling in High School Algrbra ! Dr. Jessica Respus and Mrs Leggett, Mrs Kelly , and Mrs Mayfield are fabulous! They have given my child the confidence, and support that she has needed in herself, and telling her she can do anything! My now straight A High schooler , has more self confidence in her abilities academically and who she is as a person! All of this would have never happened in public school because the teachers and staff do not have the time nor ability to provide quality time to the children with such large class sizes. On top of all of this ~ my daughter is learning, self worth, and how to help others excel, so she now has the ability to help others! All I can say is ~ there is no other School in Cumberland County that can provide what my daughter has had and been able to achieve in the 5 years she has been with this school! If your child is struggling, needs more attention academically, or is just so frustrated with class size and no help -I promise You this is the school for you! Reach out to Dr Jessica Respus, or any of the staff here, they are warm, welcoming, inviting …. everyone here is treated equally no matter what your background, and every child is provided to opportunity to strive to excellence and achieve their goals !

My son was diagnosed with ASD at the age of 5. During that time, the private school he attended was not structured to meet his specific educational and emotional needs. I enrolled him in an awesome public school via the Choice Program, but when it was time for my son to attend middle school I could not find a public school that could meet our standards for certain accommodations. As a result, I moved my son to Providence Treatment Center (PTC). The educators at PTC challenge my son every single day and provide detailed feedback on his progress. It was a difficult decision to remove him from the public school sector where most of his friends were and enroll him in a private school, but the return on investment has been phenomenal. He loves subjects that he had issues with in the past, has made a lot of new friends, and his focus at PTC is learning rather than socializing (although there’s still plenty of that too lol)! The staff at PTC care deeply and are passionate about the educational and social success of all their students. They provide a loving, stable, and fun environment where my son is thriving and I give PTC my highest recommendation. My only regret is that I didn’t enroll him sooner!

Providence Treatment Center provides an accepting and encouraging environment allowing our child to become more willing to move outside his comfort zone and explore new educational and social opportunities with an increasing confidence! After meeting Dr. Respus and the teaching staff at Providence Treatment Center, as parents we experienced a renewed hope! With the knowledge the staff approaches students as individuals by providing individualized attention to their specific academic, social, and emotional needs, we were confident Providence Treatment Center was the perfect school for our child. Now, with an educational plan tailored to his specific needs and goals, he has experienced a new willingness and interest in learning. The all-inclusive specialized program, along with the compassionate, loving support of others, has helped him gain confidence, improve his grades, and increase in his self-esteem. Providence Treatment Center is an outstanding school, and we applaud Dr. Respus and the teaching staff for their consistent hard work and dedication to all of the students.

Providence Treatment Center has been a part of our family’s journey since 2011. It all began when I was deployed and spoke with my mother about summer plans for my son, Khalil Storm. We were unsure of what to do, knowing that camp costs were quite high—at least, that’s what I thought. Then I received an email from PTC, and I was pleasantly surprised to see that the prices were very affordable. Mrs. & Mr. Respus have been there for us from the very beginning, both inside and outside of school. Attending PTC is not just about receiving an education—it truly feels like a family. The staff at PTC treat your children as if they were their own, whether at school or beyond. Khalil has special needs and a routine shaped by his medical background, but did that ever hinder his experience at PTC? Absolutely not. Even with all the changes and challenges we’ve faced, the support has been unwavering. When a program emerged to help with costs, Mrs. Jessica was proactive, ensuring all parents were informed and updated—more so than NC itself has ever done. This community, which we lovingly call our family, is the safest, most supportive, and nurturing environment we could have ever hoped for. I will always cherish the care and dedication shown by Mrs. & Mr. Respus and the entire PTC team. LOVE YOU ALWAYS. Thank you, Mrs. & Mr. Respus and Providence Treatment Center.

Providence Treatment Center has been a blessing for my family and I. Our family lives in South Carolina, which leaves us with limited family support in California when it comes to caring for our children. PTC has taught me that I can trust people other than close family to care for and love my son. My youngest son has been in different in-home daycares and daycare facilities throughout the past five years of his life. I was heartbroken when I discovered that he had been mentally abused at a trusted in-home daycare where I left him while I worked. I cannot be certain about physical abuse, as my son was unable to speak at the time, but his behavior around strangers made it clear to me that there had to be some form of physical mistreatment involved.
