Parent Testimonials:

  • Ms Pat has taught my son a lot in the past six months.  When I took my son to his music class, the teacher pointed to the picture with a big boat and asked what it was.  My son was the only one with the answer, “cruise boat.”  Everyone else just said, “boat.”  I was amazed! 
  • Ms Michele has been truly instrumental in getting my daughter over her fear of using “the potty,” which has been an enormous struggle!  Ms Michele’s extreme patience and  understanding gave my daughter the confidence she needed to overcome her “big” obstacle. Many thanks to Ms Michele for her much appreciated efforts!
