Favorite Part About Working at Just Kids:  The children!  I love the happiness that I see in them on a daily basis.  But, I think the very best part is knowing that families trust us when they bring in their children.  When new families start, parents can get pretty nervous.  I love that we can quickly calm their nerves and be an important part of their lives and the lives of their children.  I also love hearing stories about how kids want to come to school on Saturday and Sunday, and how disappointed they are when their parents tell them they can't.  I love being here, and I love that our students love to be here too!
