Testimonials
Dana Murphy
All 5 of my children attended Little Ones ! Violeta is the most amazing teacher they had .. Ever.. Through all their years of school. Not only did she teach them academically, but she made them feel loved and built their self confidence. She always told them how proud she was and that she loves them. They all have excelled through school and my oldest graduated from NAU after attending on an academic scholarship. Love this school!
Tinna Gunnarsdottir
My son and daughter attended Miss Violetta’s classes a few years ago now one college graduate and college student. I believe that the solid foundation and love for learning she helped implement were part of their educational success story. We LOVE her and still have contact with her 16 years later. She is sweet loving and at the same time a genius educator that makes learning fun !!! I just wish she had moved with us to the east coast so she could teach my3 year old twins too this year.
Candice Broughton Spangler
We love Little Ones and Ms. Violeta! My daughter learned so much in one year. In August she did not know her letters or sounds and by March she was reading! Not only was she learning she also had so much fun. She looked forward to going to school and seeing all of her friends and her very warm, kind teacher.All reactions:11
