Testimonials
“My daughter has always been a little bit shy when meeting new people or trying different things and was hesitant about joining the Thursday after school art class. Lisa won her over, however, with her warm friendliness and fantastically conceived art projects and she couldn’t wait to go back. In fact, my daughter loved the classes so much that she happily signed on for the March Break Camp (the first camp she actually ever willingly went to), and enjoyed every minute. She loved trying drama and yoga for the first time, and was sad when the week came to an end. My daughter is now looking forward to the Centre for Art and Soul summer camp and enjoying Thursday after school Drama classes with Ryan in the meantime!” – Véronique Claassen – Parent and Operations Manager at the Little Paper
“We all loved having you (Lisa) at Pauline. The students are still talking about it and one little boy was meditating in his classroom to calm himself down!!! Pretty amazing impact you had on them in such a short period of time. It was great.” - Sue Ruffolo, Phys. Ed Teacher at Pauline P.S. (written about Lisa’s yoga instruction during gym classes for J.K. up to Gr. 3)
“Thanks so much for today. My daughter had a blast. At first she was hesitant to try (she didn’t like the drama program that I previously enrolled her in – it was a city program, part of summer camp). But she’s all raves for your class. Great!” – Mom of a student attending The Centre for Art & Soul’s Drama workshops
“You’ve made a world of difference to our son’s self esteem and our perception of his gifts. Thank you for showing us his many talents and for bringing him so much joy. You’re a wonderful teacher!” Sincerely, Nora – Parent (note written to Ryan Kelly)
“My daughter was a participant in the after school drama program at Indian Rd. Crescent Public School. I wanted to write and commend the excellent job by her instructor, Ryan. She participated in the program before, but I felt this was the best class work I had seen. The kids were organized, attentive, positive, engaged and I feel that credit belongs to Ryan, who obviously had their trust and respect. Many thanks for such a great experience for Madeline.” Sincerely, Rebecca – Parent
“Lisa Kelly has developed an excellent yoga program for kids. She is aware of the age group she is working with and adapts to their needs and abilities. The kids loved her program and would sing songs she had taught them days later. She kept it interesting, playing games while teaching them poses. I highly recommend her!” - Cheryl Johnson, Kindergarten ECE – Parkdale P.S. Childcare Centre
“Enjoyed it very much – the animal poses were a hit!” - Alex, Toddlers ECE – Centro-Clinton Daycare
