Testimonials

We are so grateful to all of you for the care, nurturing, and education you provided to Anthony. He really thrived under your care and learned so much in his relatively short time with all of you.  We believe that the experiences he had at Cherry Tree will benefit him for the rest of his life.   He misses all of you and is asking when he gets to come back!  The portfolio your provided us brought a tear to my eyes.

We are particularly grateful for you truly seeing Anthony for the person he is, and who we happen to believe is a pretty special kid. All of his friends in your school are very lucky to be seen for who they are, as well.  We want you to know what a difference you make in the lives of these precious children.  We will never forget how you have brought out the best in our precious child.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

Vita possesses a great sense of empathy and understanding towards children and the challenges they are facing. With strong personal engagement, she uses her knowledge and experience with great effect while providing a space where each child feels welcome.

Vita’s mentoring approaches always inspired me because of her great ability to develop a trustful relationship with each of her students. Her methods of offering guidance and support made the students feel safe, confident and appreciated for who they are.

Vita is an amazing combination of a friend and an educator: kids like her and connect with her immediately, while at the same time they respect and obey her. She is a rare find.

I could use pages to describe Brandes, but instead I will try to collect my thoughts about her as a beautiful person in a few sentences. The second we met her she won us over with her joyful personality and she managed to transition that on our kids. She has a beautiful connection with them, she has a way that makes you feel like you know her and easily approach her, and that l think is crucial when it comes to introducing a new person to your child’s life. She is creative, bright, innovative, has a great sense of humor and l can personally claim she is a great addition to every school she will step in.

Brandes is a kind, and thorough teacher and my son was drawn to her playful nature immediately. She is energetic, positive and fun at all times. We felt so lucky to have her as the homeroom teacher not only because she monitored the kids feelings and requests closely but also because she was extremely caring and versatile. Her love for arts & crafts and creativity will definitely surprise you each day!
