This is the first time that my toddler is spending her days away from home, and we were worried it'd be tough to have so little transparency into her new life. When I wrote my daughter's teacher with questions, she was patient, thoughtful, insightful, kind, reassuring, and in all ways heavenly. She's such a calming presence and is completely emblematic of our experience in general. Cannot say enough positive things!
