“Monique is responsive, thoughtful, engaging and insightful and has been a wonderful influence on my daughter.” – D.S., Parent and Developmental Pediatrician
“We love Creative Roots! My 11 year old daughter started in the “Girls Empowerment Group” and she completely enjoys her time there doing art, yoga, and having meaningful conversations with her peers. Shortly after she started, my 8 year old son joined the “Boys Empowerment Group” and he absolutely has a blast in the class as well! Both kids have enjoyed meeting other kiddos their age, but from outside their normal “school group”. They always want to go early…and always hide when I come to pick them up. 🙂 Monique is amazing and has a wonderful way with the children. She is gentle and full of knowledge and compassion. Both of my kids completely adore her (and I do too!).” ~ M. Convery, Parent
My son has really been enjoying the Boys Group at Creative Roots. He enjoys spending time with the friends he has made there and collaborating on projects. Â He also feels a sense of ownership of the space and projects they are working on. Â I like that he feels it is a safe place to talk and share and that he is just having fun. Overall it is time well spent encouraging his creativity, developing social skills and gaining confidence collaborating and working as a member of a team. ~Â Jennifer, Parent
In contrast to many programs which are more structured and goal-oriented, the Girls’ Empowerment Group engages the girls on a deeper level so that they learn about themselves, themselves in relation to others, the power and meaning of creative expression and the importance being of service. It has been a wonderful experience for my daughter.
