Jenna is the most incredible preschool teacher. I’ve never known anyone to love the kids more than she does. Her French is beautiful and her passion for teaching French is so admirable. We love and will miss her so much!

Jenna used to teach my son and she is such a wonderfully nurturing educator! Her passion for French and teaching littles is very apparent, and Robert and Tsiky are also extremely passionate about evidence-based ECE. We'd be going here if it was closer!

Jenna is amazing. She was my son's pre-k teacher and she was kind of like a second mom to him. He's gonna be 9 years old now and he still loves her.
