A Note on These Reviews
Garden Growing Leaders is a new program, so you won't find reviews of the program itself just yet. What you'll find here are reviews of our teachers — reflecting their track record from years of work in Piedmont's most respected early childhood programs, before joining Growing Leaders. We believe the most honest way to help you choose a caregiver is to show you who has trusted them before, not just what we say about ourselves.

Teresa taught both of my daughters at a prior daycare and they loved her. She is kind, warm and patient. Her supportive approach to learning and care had them ready and confident to start kindergarten.

Maestra Tere was an amazing educator for our daughter. She came in not understanding spanish and has left extremely confident. More importantly, her social emotional skills are beyond my expectations. Maestra Tere was very keen on helping our daughter work through some of her challenges and we're forever indebted to her. Hopefully we can work more together in the future!

Teresa was an outstanding teacher. She worked with children aged from 2 to 5. What was most impressive besides her hands on approach to children was her flexibility and her strengths as a team member. She is well ares of child development curriculum and an excellent manager of children and their needs. If you need any more information please contact me. Charleen Calvert.

Maestra Teresa was my daughter’s teacher for her last year of preschool and she embodied an excellent mix of friend and teacher that is so necessary for this age. She offered structure and dependability that helped my daughter create healthy habits to be part of a community. And she was also loving and playful. My daughter always said “Maestra Teresa is the best artist at face paint!”

I have known Teresa Hernandez for more than 10 years. Teresa is a very responsible, creative and caring teacher. When we were coworkers, she always made sure to keep the classroom well organized and clean. She based the curriculum on the children's interests; she frequently brought in materials that engaged the children and sparked their curiosity. I have witnessed how safe and loved the children felt while in her care. Lupe Guevara, Preschool teacher at Via Nova

Maestra Teresa taught my son at another daycare, and was always an exceptional teacher and advocate. She always knew how to connect with him, engage him and spark his joy in learning. She had great intuition with what the kids needed, developmentally and socially/emotionally—I trusted her completely, and was thankful that we got to know her over all those years!

Maestra Yanira is an incredible early childhood educator. My three children adore her. She is energetic, loving, and intuitive with children. She connects so well with kids, and is deeply committed to her students learning, growth, and well-being. She is proactive about introducing new lessons and materials that will benefit kids social-emotional and cognitive development. She is trustworthy, responsive, and well-organized.
We are deeply grateful for your wonderful words. It is an absolute privilege to have your trust, and feedback like yours reaffirms our passion for early education and care. Thank you so much!

We were so fortunate to have Maestra Teresa teach our daughter for TK. Tere is caring, attentive, patient and kind. She also gave our daughter a more structured academic environment in which she thrived. We are grateful to her for the support she provided and can't recommend her enough!
