It is not often that you encounter a kind, professional, and extremely knowledgeable educator that is filled with tremendous love and respect toward children, families, and educators. It is evident that Susan's expertise in all areas of early childhood education, including play, inquiry-based learning, and making children's learning visible, has made her an exemplary knowledgeable leader in Early Childhood Education.

What I love most about The Playful Child is that it provides the type of experience that I wish I could set up for my kids at home, but our busy schedules make it difficult. Seeing my children explore new interests and take those discoveries home with them has been an amazing experience.

I had heard about play-based learning but never knew how much learning could come from it. The girls visited The Playful Child, and it was as if they were given the stage to show what they knew in their own way.

Susan has been an integral part of our family's life for the past four years, providing invaluable tutoring support to my daughter. Her guidance has been instrumental in helping my daughter overcome the challenges of dyslexia. Susan's expertise, patience, and unwavering encouragement have empowered my daughter with essential coping strategies and reading techniques. Her ability to break down complex concepts into manageable tasks has fostered confidence and a love for learning. I'm forever grateful for Susan's dedication and compassion. She's more than a tutor – she's family. To anyone considering Susan's services, I promise you won't be disappointed. Her impact will be profound, and your child will thrive under her care. Our only regret will be when our sessions eventually come to an end. That will be a bittersweet day, indeed. Wholeheartedly recommended.

Miss Susan is literally the BEST tutor EVER! She's been helping me with dyslexia for 4 years and I've come so far! She's super cool, patient, and actually makes learning fun (yeah, I know, weird). I don't know what I'd do without her. If you need a tutor, pick Susan! You won't regret it. Only downside: when I have to stop seeing her. That's gonna be a sad day. I love you Miss Susan!

Thank you for giving my son confidence!
