“We just wanted to take the time to thank you.

You helped create a foundation for our son where he believes education is for him. After 4 weeks he has a higher self-esteem in general. He progressed in learning how to interact with other kids.  We’re just unbelievably grateful for you and your unwavering patience.

Thank for creating a safe space for him. For fighting for his progression alongside us. The teachers that you have assembled are a gift.”

“Words cannot express our gratitude for taking our daughters under your wings in guiding and teaching them to their fullest potential towards building a stronger foundation in early literacy. We are extremely pleased to see our daughters growth thus far and look forward to continue working with you, and Jenna as well. If we can successfully register our daughters to the morning class at their pre-school, we would love to take you up on your offer to have both yourself and Miss Jenna teach each of our daughters one-on-one in the near future as they adore you both!”

“Peyton had a terrific time the other weekend at your Writer’s Workshop. As Peyton told me, “It wasn’t like most school learning, it was fun!” She was thrilled to learn from a real author and took her autographed copy of Samantha Green to share with her class the next day. She has even begun to write her own mystery story using the outline provided by Ms. Christy…I think you are offering a tremendous service in a space that is wonderfully warm and inviting!”
