Jai was such a pleasure and fit right into the party. She was like one of the family. The kids adored her...I would take a sewing lesson with her!

My girls made tutus with Jai! First, they got to color and design their “dream” tutu. Jai helped them choose colors and measure and bring the design to life. Jai was even kind enough to sew a mini tutu for their baby sister and used the extra material to quickly sew veils. My daughters, 4 and 6, were thrilled. They are really proud of the tutus that they made with Jai.

We loved our "Create Your Own Aquarium" session with Teacher Jai. Jai created such an engaging, exciting, and comfortable environment for our preschool-aged son. He was completely engaged for the full two hours, and we watched his confidence, focus, and pride grow throughout the session. Later, he told us that the highlight of his day was his time with Teacher Jai - a big compliment coming from a four-year-old! The session and logistics were a breeze, making it easy for us parents, and it was delightful to listen in on all of the learning and laughter. It was an excellent experience for us all, and we can't wait for our next session in the 4-week series!
