You will NOT FIND a nicer director than Lisa! From the moment I called her she has been one of the SWEETEST People I have ever met in my life.She CARES about her the children she takes care of and supervises on a daily basis.This woman has a heart of gold.I wish I would have found her sooner.Today was my little girls FIRST day and she wanted lisa to hold her when we walked in the door! My child is intuitive as am I and she knows something good when she sees it :)
