Frequently asked questions

I cap it at 8.

Not necessarily. I'm very understanding of special circumstances and I know all children learn this skill at their own pace so please reach out with any questions!

I believe children have a reason for what they do, and I take each challenging situation case by case. If they're struggling in class it may be because they had a rough night, didn't eat enough breakfast, have something going on in their lives that's causing stress or just have emotions that feel big like the rest of us. I do my best to provide a safe place for children to express emotions and to feel heard and loved. I find that children often respond well to kind words and patience. I make an effort to communicate with parents to get insights into how to best support their children and appreciate feedback from them because they know their children best! I also believe in natural consequences, such as: if you're using the art supplies as weapons, you'll lose the privilege of using them. But generally children have done well in my class and find it to be a safe, happy place.

Yes! Parents are always welcome. I understand that some students do better easing slowly into new places and experiences and parents are welcome to stay as long as they need for their child's comfort. I do ask that you not talk to your child during circle time as it can be distracting.

Venmo and PayPal are preferred but I also accept cash or check.

No. However, please come to me with any questions or needs. I will approach this on a case by case basis.
