I love the kids. I love the atmosphere. Just everything about it is such a positive experience that I wasn't able to find anywhere else. I love getting to come into a family environment every day. Getting to work with the kids and guide them in their development to see those light bulb moments, those really special moments where kids finally understand what they've been working on for so long.
