POD FAMILY TESTIMONIALS
"Michelle has created an incredible small group school environment where my two children have flourished beyond my expectations. Under Michelle's guidance, they not only learned academic skills but have also developed invaluable social and emotional growth. Michelle's patience, kindness, and nurturing demeanor create a safe and supportive space where children thrive. My children have made lasting friendships and have grown immensely confident, thanks to Michelle's calm and loving energy that immediately draws children in. I am endlessly grateful for Michelle's dedication and expertise in fostering such a positive learning and developmental experience for my children over the last three years. Oh, be ready for some cute crafts to hang in your home :)"

“Miss Michelle has been such a gift to our family. Both of my kids have been lucky enough to participate in her pods over the last 2 years and have blossomed and learned so much, thanks to her creative teaching style, educational projects, and her patient, nurturing and encouraging personality. Their experience in her pods allowed them to be much more prepared to enter preschool, as she worked with them on sitting for circle time, participating in activities, sharing, and playing well with their peers. Though my kids are now in preschool, we continue to do special summer or winter break pods whenever we can because they love it so much! I cannot recommend her pod programs enough!”

"Miss Michelle is the absolute best! Her nurturing and stimulating environment has fostered my child's love for learning. Each day is filled with fun activities that are not only educational but also encourage social interaction and creativity. I've seen so much growth in my child's confidence, communication skills, and ability to work well with others. Miss Michelle’s focus on a balanced curriculum that includes play, academics, and emotional development has laid a strong foundation for future learning. I am truly grateful for POD and the impact it has had on my child's early development"

"Miss Michelle has been an invaluable presence in our family. Both my daughters attended Michelle’s Pod preschool program - they LIVED for “Pod Days” and their special adventures with Miss Michelle. Her Pod preschool program is nurturing, educational, creative and dynamic - setting my girls up to be emotionally confident and social beings as they’ve transitioned into their next educational chapter.”

"My daughter's time with Miss Michelle’s POD was unforgettable! She was in a personalized and educationally rich environment, which was grounded in a strong love for learning. I loved the weekly themes and hands on activities they did each day in class. Highly recommend this experience for families looking for a personal approach to learning!"

"Immediately when we started to work with Michelle you could tell she was extremely caring towards the children and passionate about her job. She leads with empathy and kindness and the children naturally gravitated towards her. She took such pride in her work, coming up with thematic and meaningful weeks and focused on the whole child development. I was highly impressed with how much my child progressed academically and I would strongly recommend Michelle for anyone considering this experience!"

"We love Michelle! My youngest daughter, Hannah (3 years old), was so fortunate to learn, grow and play with Michelle in POD for almost 6 months. Prior to Hannah starting POD, she had no prior school experience and from the moment I met Michelle I knew it would be the perfect way to transition Hannah into a preschool environment. Michelle’s nurturing energy, impressive teaching experience and nature-based POD approach made me feel so comfortable and confident to move forward. Over the course of Hannah’s 6 months with Michelle, Hannah’s verbal skills improved, she became more independent, created so many unique art masterpieces, participated in many educational activities all while having fun throughout the process! My older daughter, Claire (almost 7 years old), also had the opportunity to spend a couple of days in POD with Michelle and had so much fun that she continues to ask for more POD sessions. My girls adore Michelle and we all feel incredibly blessed to have shared such great memories in POD with her!"
