Testimonials
"It was inspiring to watch Noa’s mastery of group dynamics—her ability to inspire the shiest child and at the same time create positive boundaries for the high energy boys. Not only did the students benefit from their participation in these activities, but we came away with a wealth of new ideas for our classrooms!”
