My child is in kindergarten and was mostly nonverbal before being in Ms. Duffy’s class. Since being with her, I have seen an incredible change. My child is now starting to speak, communicate, answer questions, and follow directions. This progress means everything to our family. Ms. Duffy is an amazing teacher because she is patient, kind, and truly dedicated to her students. She takes the time to understand each child’s needs and finds ways to help them grow. She makes learning engaging and creates a safe and supportive environment where my child feels comfortable trying new things. She shows that she cares by encouraging my child every day, celebrating small achievements, and never giving up. Because of her, my child is becoming more confident and independent. Ms. Duffy has made a huge difference not just in the classroom, but in our lives at home as well. We are so grateful for her dedication, support, and the positive impact she has had on my child’s development. She truly deserves to be recognized.
