Comments

  1. Gaby’s energy and joie-de-vivre create an inviting environment in which the children can explore their work materials. She is both a dedicated and loving teacher. She treats each child with the respect she would accord her own children and yet sets firm boundaries for them.

  2. Ms. Gaby's fun-loving spirit and enthusiasm for teaching is unending. She has a talent for understanding each child's personality and teaching to their strengths to bring out the best in their abilities. We will miss her when we move on to Transition.

  3. Gaby’s teaching style is dynamic and unique. She embraces the magic in the everyday, and instills that passion into her lessons. Her creativity and enthusiasm inspire kids to experiment, to explore, to learn. Her compassion fosters respect and appreciation for self and others. She has genuinely bonded with our children and they have blossomed in her classroom.
