This year’s Boo! Walk will honor two Variety alumni: five-year old Nicholas Vitulli and seven-year old Neel Upadhyay.
Nicholas was with Variety for two years. He began the program when he was three before he transitioned to kindergarten. He was engaged with both sensory and academic learning, and was proud of his achievements at he center. His parents credit Variety for their strong preschool education and therapies. Nicholas enjoys singing, music, swimming and playing outside.
Neel attended Variety for two years before he transitioned to elementary school. He enjoys playing with his sister, swimming and learning about dinosaurs. His parents say that Variety was an engaging environment for Neel.
