– Tammy McPhail, Pre-K Teacher

"One of the best and most motivational workshops I have ever attended. The material was very organized, with new and innovating ideas to try, and very supportive of play-based learning. The education field is lucky to have such a passionate educator/speaker!"
– Tanyha LeBroda, Special Ed. Teacher

"Thank you, Adam! It's been a long time since I've taken so much away from a workshop. You lit a spark in me and I can't wait to go back to my building and share with my teacher friends!"
– Jacque Yocom, Pre-K Teacher

"Adam provided concrete examples of exercises and activities that I could employ in my class, as well as share with colleagues. As Adam introduced each activity, he provided excellent ideas on how to adapt each one to the needs of a class. I highly recommend this seminar. A new teacher or veteran teacher could equally benefit from this program. Bravo, Adam!"
– Mary Ryan-Thornton, Pre-K Teacher

"Adam was wonderful. I appreciate the real-life examples that I can implement immediately. He broke things down in a way that does not feel overwhelming as I return to my classroom tomorrow. I also appreciate all the extra resources."
