“We are so happy we found Donna! Cathy absolutely loves her and is always excited to see her. What I love most is Donna’s approach to teaching through play. She is incredibly gentle and patient, and she makes learning feel natural and enjoyable rather than like a traditional lesson.

Donna takes the time to understand who Cathy is, what interests her, and what sparks her curiosity. She builds learning experiences around those interests through games, conversation, reading, writing, and hands-on activities.

I also really appreciate the thought and effort Donna puts into every visit. She always arrives prepared with books, notebooks, and different learning materials. She even remembers the little things Cathy loves—especially dinosaurs—and often brings something special connected to her interests. It shows that Donna is thinking about Cathy and planning for her before she even arrives.

Donna genuinely cares about the whole child, and we feel very lucky to have found someone who makes Cathy feel happy, comfortable, confident, and excited to learn.”

Donna is truly an amazing person who has made a lasting impact on our child and our entire family. From the very beginning, she just understood our son. She embraces his big, high-energy personality and meets him with so much joy, patience, and creativity.

Through music, art, sensory play, movement, and creative experiences, Donna makes every session exciting and meaningful. She has an incredible ability to match his energy while also knowing exactly how to help him slow down, feel calm, and feel secure.

You can see how genuinely Donna loves and cares for the children she teaches. Our son looks forward to his time with her, and the connection they have built means so much to us. Donna has become much more than a teacher—she truly feels like part of our family. We are incredibly grateful to have her in our son’s life.”
