“Hurrah for Emmett! It’s a highlight of my day to check in with him at school. I’ve noticed my son is extra reluctant to leave school when Emmett is there. I feel good leaving my son in his care because of his skill and experience, but also because they have truly bonded.”-Chesnutt

“Emmett is an amazing teacher, caregiver and playmate for all of his students we are particularly impressed by his: fun loving and positive attitude, approachability and ease, good communication skills, willingness to talk about anything, excellent limit setting, knowledge of development, excellent job building relationships with families.” -McKelne/Machado

“Emmett is such a kind, caring and fun teacher to have. He is so attentive to the kids-he gets down and dirty in the group! But at the same time he can be a teacher with a gentle and firm command of discipline and respect. Emmett ALWAYS makes sure to check in with parents and kids in the morning and evening. His patience and gentle demeanor help calm down a silly and crazy group of children. We are so lucky to have known Emmett throughout the years and have watched him develop into the awesome teacher he is today.” - Erickson

“Emmett brings creativity and calmness to the classroom. He has the most amount of patience I have ever seen out of anyone. We love the way Emmett brings his own style to the class and encourages each child to do the same. Our daughter is excited to see him in the morning and looks forward to spending time with him during the day. We feel very comfortable leaving our child in his care knowing that all of her needs will be met. He is an important part of our daughter’s success and a key player in helping her to be a well rounded individual.” -Rigsby

“Emmett has some super special qualities that shine as a teacher. The sensitivity and thoughtfulness he has with the children is remarkable. Sometimes I have laughed to myself wondering ‘Is this for real?’ after hearing him talk so super sweetly to the kids, and yet it is real and matched perfectly to their level. Emmett is also an amazing artist whose skills are shared with the children in many ways; watching him create, but also by joining him, learning from him, and incorporating his artwork into curriculum planning. I also love that my daughter has the opportunity to have a trusting, caring, and loving teacher who happens to be male, this can be a rare thing in the Early Childhood field. Emmett also is a great communicator with parents. I love being the one to pick up my daughter so I get to hear the daily report from him. He will gently tell you if your child did not have a good moment every part of the day, which I appreciate, and thoughtfully discuss this and explore options and considerations with you and your child.” -Hollingsworth
