My Children are Thriving at Kintess

Emma is in second grade. Her elder sister, her sister’s in fourth grade, and they have almost polar opposite personalities.

I would say that Emma is a little bit more she can be more active, more rambunctious sometimes.

And she’s very, I guess what you would say, a typical try to be model student in the classroom.

But she is thriving here because she doesn’t get distracted by other things that are happening in the classroom sometimes.

So she tells me like these are her words, she’s been telling me that she can focus better in the classroom, on the lesson, on whatever the teacher is teaching her.

And she gets more of that one-on-one attention with the teacher to help her with things that she’s having trouble with.

And so she just feels like she can absorb more in the classroom, and the lesson. I think that was the biggest thing for Emma.

She was doing she was always doing pretty well in the classroom, but I think in this environment, she just felt like, oh I’m when I need the help that I need and when I want to ask the teacher a question, like it’s so easy.

And she’s just able to take in so much more of the lesson that the teacher is trying to teach her.

And then Audrey, she’s more of my, I guess, sensitive child. She’s more observant of what’s going on around her, and she’s much more, I guess, emotional, and she’s more in touch with her own emotions.

And so, with that said, and all of the other emotional intelligence you know that is incorporated into the philosophy here at Kintess,

it has been amazing like a 180 degree difference for Audrey and she actually said to me, and when we’re talking about it she said, you know, I feel like this I feel safe here.

That’s what she said. She said I feel safe here. And she doesn’t have the reservations about talking to her teachers or talking to other kids if she’s needing to have a discussion about something that’s, you know, been on her mind.

So I think that’s been the biggest thing. She’s she just feels comfortable here. She’s she said that she feels like this is where I’m supposed to be.
