A Word of Thanks

Dear Friends,
I just wanted to take a moment to say "thank you" to all of you for your enhancement of my knowledge of child development. I truly appreciate the work that each and every one of you put into our class, our discussions, and our blog postings. You are all very knowledgeable and I know that each day you are contributing greatly to the lives of children. I wish you all the best that life can offer personally and professionally. I will be praying for each one of you. Many blessings!

Val,

We have had two classes together and I have enjoyed learning and growing from you! You offer such words of kindness and encouragement. Although, I don't know you personally I have no doubt that you are a wonderful wife, mother and teacher! I hope we continue to have more classes together! I wish you the best!
