When we came to MSS in August 2012, our son was having a difficult time with separation and was very nervous in new situations. Alice walked both my son and myself through the process of adjusting to being in school for the first time with a calm assurance. Her clear and consistent boundaries combined with her kind, loving presence helped our son to feel secure in his new environment and he looks forward to joining his friends at MSS each day. Alice’s personal and communicative style and dedication to the families that she serves, mean that she is more than our son’s preschool teacher, she is an ally that we are very grateful to have.
