I list the following messages with gratitude to the families that have shared their children with me.... all goodness given returns tenfold.

"Our son really enjoyed your program last year. He made good memories and more friends. More importantly he benefited from the topics you taught (such as the art of conversation and staying on-topic, working together, reading other's emotions, how to make a plan, trade, and how to vote on activities). We also enjoyed the books and stories used in creative play. We still have the bank that he made for the 'store' that was used to reward positive behavior and we use it to keep the coins in he uses to learn money values and math in the first grade. The journaling was also very helpful to introduce him to the daily/monthly journals he must do in first grade. I only wish we had known about your program when he was younger." Max's mom, 2006.

"I had a lot of fun at Friendship Club this summer. I'm sorry I missed one. Do you love hippos?" Sean, 2006

"Thank you for all you've done for Nickolas. Friendship Club was something Nickolas looked forward to all summer! You truly are a special person and wonderful teacher!" Nickolas's mom, 2006.

"Thank you again for helping Zach fill his 'toolbelt' of friendship."     Zach's mom, 2005

"What a wonderful experience for Luke! Friendship Club was the best summer activity! You are such a warm and caring person....no wonder why Friendship Club was such a success.   We are very lucky to have found you. I can see changes in Luke and will use many of your helpful suggestions throughout his kindergarten year." Luke's mom, 2004
