Our beloved client, Ma’am Jo. We are deeply thankful to God for allowing us to know you, even in such a short span of time. We learned so much from you and witnessed how strong and dedicated you were. You taught us that no matter what happens in life, we must keep moving forward. We will truly miss your warm smile, Ma’am Jo. We love you. 🤍
Celebrating the Life & Legacy of Ma'am Jo
It is with heavy hearts, but with peace in our spirits, that we announce the passing of our beloved founder, Jocelyn E. Ballares.
In 2008, Ma'am Jo turned her passion for education and her deep love for Jesus into a reality by founding Jesus Little Friends Learning Center. What started with just three teachers and a big dream quickly became a second home for so many of our children.
To Ma’am Jo, this school was never just a business—it was her ministry. Her greatest joy was seeing a child’s eyes light up, not just with a new lesson, but with the love of Christ. While she is now resting in the arms of the Savior she taught us all to love, her legacy lives on in every song sung, every prayer whispered, and every life touched within these walls.
We thank you for your prayers and support for the Ballares family during this time. We remain committed to keeping her "beacon of hope" shining bright.
Thank you, Ma'am Jo! We love you!
