How have they made an impact?
Miss K, as she is called by her students, is an amazing teacher and influence on her preschool students. My granddaughter has learned so much and is beyond ready for kindergarten in the fall. She has taught my granddaughter a love of school and learning. She wakes up ready to go to school and is disappointed when there is no school that day. I pray she carries on the foundation and love of learning she received from her.
