“Kevin is truly impressed by your teacher mannerisms, how calm and cheerful you are.  He likes you very much and is attached.  Thank you so much, for it wasn’t a little.  You have reconciled Kevin with the thought that teachers can be quite nice!” 

-Mrs. Shaker

“I just want to take a moment to say thank you for all you do with Allen.  He just loves being in your presence, and when he comes home from school, he will talk about his friends, and then continues to say something always about Mrs. Wantland.  “She was sick, and I want to make her a card, and give her a heart.”  “Mrs. Wantland is BACK!…and so on.  We are blessed to have you in his classroom!”

-Mrs. Black

“I just wanted to start off by saying thank you for all the hours of hard work and patience you put into teaching our children.  I am extremely blessed to have you as Elaine’s teacher and I love seeing her excitement grow as she learns.  Instilling a love of learning at a young age is so important and your teaching methods are invaluable.”

-Mrs. Forbes

“It is very difficult for me to express my gratitude for how far Marcus has come under your care this year.  His little heart has opened to a greater love of learning, he has worked through his shyness, learned how to be less selfish in his play, has learned to read and write and so much more academically.  Please understand how truly grateful we are!”

Mentor:                               

“Mrs. Wantland manifested the skills of an experienced, caring and insightful guide.  The children sensed her genuine interest in her work; as her gentle demeanor and soft voice also helped them look up to her as a teacher who can be respected and trusted.  She showed a good understanding of each child’s psychology.  I am certain that she will be an asset to the Montessori Community.”
