Kennedy was my son's VPK teacher and she made him love coming to school. Every day he brought home projects that they did together and he was always so proud of his work. She was always easy to talk to about any concerns we had and it's obvious that she really loves teaching. - Samantha
Kennedy was very understanding with my son, even when he was a handful. Our other sitter always told us how "bad" he was, but she really connected with him. He loves her and they have so much fun together. Thank you, Kennedy! - Korrie
Kennedy was always flexible with our schedules and I knew my girls were in good hands. We really miss her! - Nicole
