"Our family has had the immense privilege of being part of Susie’s educational programs for the past five years, and we cannot overstate how grateful we are for the guidance, warmth, and creativity she brings into our child’s life.

Susie has a rare gift for connecting with children in a way that feels both gentle and empowering. Through her thoughtful blend of art, nature exploration, and child-led play, she creates an environment where kids are not only free to express themselves, but are also deeply seen, heard, and respected.

What we love most about Susie’s approach is how she encourages curiosity and honors each child’s individual rhythm. Whether it’s art projects in Hampton Park, exploring the city museums, or simply letting imaginations run wild, Susie fosters a space where learning feels joyful and organic.

Over the years, our child has grown more confident, more expressive, and more connected to the natural and creative world—and so much of that is thanks to Susie’s care and vision. She’s more than a teacher; she’s a trusted mentor, a creative guide, and a nurturing presence in our child’s development. We feel incredibly lucky to have found her."
