Ms. Lynda is one of the best daycares around. My daughter attended Teachable moments for over 3 years. Currently my daughter is advance for her age and was able to start kindergarten early due to Ms. Lynda's teaching skills. She works with each child individually and studies their strengths and weakness. Ms. Lynda is NOT the kind of daycare that will sit your child in front of a tv. The children will consistently be in engaged in learning activities and outdoor play. Teachable Moments was everything we needed and more.

Lynda is a great and passionate teacher. My daughter attended her childcare for 4 years, and learned a lot of the contents that are taught in Kindergarten and First grade. I highly recommend her.

My daughter attended Teachable Moments since she was 2 years old. She is now in kindergarten and thanks to Lynda at Teachable Moments, she helped prepare her. She is great when it comes to communicating about my child and always makes sure to give updates on any of our concerns. Great daycare, very personable and cares about what she does and the kids.

[Excerpt from recommendation written by school principal before her promotion] Ms. Rocco is constantly praising and rewarding student efforts...has created a program that is very hands-on...she works long hours after school to create high-interest activities including manipulatives and visuals. She maintains excellent communications with parents. Ms. Rocco is very conscious of giving staff positive feedback and accolades.

Sherry W.
Principal

This is an excerpt from a recommendation letter when I was a substitute: She [Lynda] researched and purchased materials and she used those materials with her students in guided reading lessons...students were reading books in kindergarten!
