I adore Rick. His role at JMC is vital to the program, his presence in the classroom is always welcome. He can soothe an anxious child with his calm speech and mannerisms. He can discipline a child with total patience and resolve. His eyes are kind and loving and he always has time for the people that need him.

I adore Dina. She has 4 kids, 3 of which are under 6. She maintains an upbeat and positive attitude regardless of what life throws at her. She always asks about my day and remembers details that I've told her in the past. She bakes us cookies and does fun experiments with the kids and lends us movies and keeps an eye on my children.

I adore Susan. She is a student who is leaving my class to go on to public school. She will be succesful because she is friendly and smart and fun. She is great with children and is always willing to help out in the classroom. She accepts advice and listens, really listens, when people talk to her.
