What people are saying
“Ms. Mandy’s zoom class has kept my daughter ‘school’ engaged through a very trying time. Her energy and love for the students shines through the screen, as if they were in a physical class. I have been amazed at all the work she puts into the ‘kit.’ I appreciate the sticker chart and prizes. I have watched my daughter become more focused during class, and she is eager to do the work.”

“Ms. Mandy’s pre-k experience was exactly what my son needed to get him ready for kindergarten during an exceedingly difficult year. He had fun, learned so much, and is so prepared for the year ahead. Mandy’s kindness and enthusiasm made this experience of virtual learning an adventure we were grateful to take alongside her as a true learning partner, and a sound resource in the area of early education.”
