We really enjoyed visiting your class today and loved how super engaged the students were. We also loved how patient you were with the class.


You have great class management and redirection skills. All of the sites love what you're doing. Great job Ivy, keep up to good work! We appreciate all that you do. Thank you!

“Thank you for always being so open and warm with me. You have impacted my and my daughter’s lives in a way I can’t say I’ve ever experienced. Because of you she has become confident to be who she is at any moment.


She’s become more articulate and better able to express herself by first sitting in her thoughts. You are genuinely concerned about all your crew...thank you.”
