1. Who is P.U.R.E.™?
P.U.R.E.™ is an organization that offers parents resources in regards to
schools and programs for pre-teens and teens. P.U.R.E.™ was founded by a
parent who recognized a need of a change in this industry. During her search for
her own child, there was a feeling of loss and confusion. Many of the
Educational Consultants are political, lack understanding and compassion, as
well as are very costly.
With this, there is a need for a service as P.U.R.E.™ to help parents
know they are not alone. P.U.R.E.™ is here to help you sort through the
confusion during a desperate time.

2. Why use P.U.R.E.™ Services?
P.U.R.E.™ has dedicated their service to locate licensed, accredited and
qualified programs & schools. We are constantly researching (including visiting
programs personally) and take the time to listen to parent feedback. First hand
experience is a valuable tool for learning about programs and schools.
This saves you time, stress and frustration of reviewing many brochures and
speaking with many "sales reps." Being able to give parents choices is
what makes us unique. P.U.R.E.™ believes being overwhelmed and confused
can cause errors in placement of your child. We want to relieve that confusion.
P.U.R.E.™ is recognized by the Better Business Bureau and approved by
the Broward County School District.

not to restrict their search to a limited geographical area. Finding the most
