Sarah was my son’s kindergarten teacher six years ago and I
appreciate the foundation of knowledge she gave him to this
day. She also currently tutors my daughter. She is genuine, kind,
patient and understanding. I have only amazing things to say
about her! Sarah is truly a blessing in our lives and an
incredibly talented educator. This school will have wonderful
leadership and compassionate caregivers. The children will be
safe & loved and look forward to coming back every day!
Suzanne Caouette
Two of my children were lucky enough to have Mrs. Stone as their
teacher! I cannot even begin to describe how amazing she is! Not
only is she fully dedicated to her job, but her entire mission is built
around each individual child. No other teacher has been able to
compare to her patience, love and dedication. She uses any
opportunity as a lesson. A visitor to her classroom is a way to help
her children learn how to greet someone. There is no limit to her
creativity when encouraging children. She treats every child like her
own and invests so much into each of her students!
Nicole Cobb
Sarah Stone has such an amazing talent for connecting with the students and
engaging them and letting them learn and experience new and
challenging tasks. She was there to support if needed, but she let them
take chances and learn from the experience whether they were ultimately
successful in said task or not. They learned much for both outcomes!
Christine and Ned Quigley
To be a child of the first class of students taught by Mrs. Stone was a huge
honor and privilege. She is a wonderful, kind, patient, caring, and loving
woman who has every student's best interest at heart. It can be hard for
parents to drop their kids off on their first day of first grade, and even
harder for the kids. But Mrs. Stone makes sure every parent and child is
okay, and most importantly that they are comfortable.
