Headshot of a boy smiling at the camera“My son Josiah has had a phenomenal experience this year in NC Pre-K. His teachers, Ms. Robin and Ms. Tina, were great all around. In the beginning , there were little concerns, but as I spoke with the teachers, as well as the director of the program, everything changed around expeditiously. The relationship Ms. Robin had with Josiah was not only unexpected, but heartwarming. I loved the way my son would talk about his teachers. He was always ready to go to school! Due to his skin condition , he missed a lot of days, but Ms. Robin made sure that he didn’t miss any lessons. She always checked on him and made sure he was caught up! We love, love, love, Ms. Robin and Ms. Tina! Thank you Partners In Learning!”
