“You’re amazing Shannon. Thank you for being such a dedicated educator and ensuring there has been no lapse in our children’s learning during these (COVID) times. Your daily 9am zoom chats have been critical to our family maintaining some sort of orderly homeschooling since it usually kick-starts and sets the tone beautifully for an hour of morning formal learning for us.”
— Cherie Mah & Mischa Zajtmann
“Where do I start? I am so thankful to have such smart, strong, talented women support and teach my daughter from such a young age. Your love and support towards Shay and our family has been the best first year of school experience that I could have ever dreamed of. ”

“We are so appreciative of you and Cyntia and we have truly loved being a part of LPE. You guys welcomed Blakely (and Caroline too!) in and made her feel at home in a new country right away, and for that I will be forever grateful. LPE will always be such a special part of our time here.”
— Stephanie & PJ Guido
