“We take away from our work with Melissa and Cody a framework of approaching the unknowns of parenthood with compassion and empathy.”
— Parent Testimonial
What families are saying:
"Cody and Melissa had such a huge impact on our daughter’s early years. Their patience, deep understanding of childhood development, and ability to navigate tough conversations—like helping us talk about death in a way our daughter could understand—made such a difference for our family. They created such a warm, supportive space where she felt safe to learn and grow. She’s currently thriving in kindergarten and has an emotional awareness that surprises me, largely due to the guidance she received early on from Melissa and Cody. Any family or teacher working with them is lucky to have their guidance!"
What families are saying:
"Melissa and Cody teach by recognizing how each individual child can contribute to a community of intention and joy. They understand what it takes to create this wonderful society of small people from the perspective of both daily practice and the nuances of the physical environment. "
