I don't know how to get across how much we love teacher Leah. In fact, I'm not sure I want to because then she'll become so popular I won't have a chance at getting my youngest back in, lol.
Our oldest son is on the autism spectrum. We were desperate to find a preschool where he could practice socializing in a safe setting. She accepted him, his quirks, and the extra work necessary to help him (meetings with rotating special education teachers, visual charts, extra attention, parental worry, etc.) and never once did she think he was a challenge. In fact, she said, "I want to do what I can to help."
Her motto is "We stay small so your child can grow," and truer words were never spoken. Our son has thrived in the 2.5 years he attended Powell Valley Preschool and Childcare with Leah. He is now in Kindergarten in a regular classroom with his peers. It's still going to be a long road ahead, but I firmly believe that the genuine love and caring he received from Leah's supportive environment helped him feel more confident about social interaction.
I can't thank you enough, Leah. Blessings to you, your wonderful school and students, and your family.
