WHAT ARE PEOPLE SAYING ABOUT OUR CLASSES?
I am writing to recommend a Spanish class my 3 year old daughter has been participating in since she was 2. At 2 it was mommy and me and now it is an hour drop -off. The main draw is Janel--she is incredible. She is a remarkable teacher with tons of puppets, games, songs--she is very entertaining and I know my daughter would enjoy the fun and entertaining hour even if it wasn't in Spanish. Mostly though, Janel is a wonderful person. She is perceptive and sensitive and tuned in to each child. She has helped my daughter with transitioning from being with mommy full time to doing a drop off. She genuinely cares about each child and her work is clearly her passion and calling. Your child would be lucky just to experience her warm and loving energy. I am too!

You continue to blow my mind when it comes to your teaching ability and how connected you are to the children. The best decision I ever made was enrolling my child in your Spanish and Kindergarten program!!!

Just wanted to let you know that the boys absolutely adored class today. They spent the whole drive home telling me how much they enjoyed class and spent the rest of the night telling their babysitter the same thing.
