What families are saying

  • "We love Daffany and Intentional YOU! We have only used her services a short time but we can tell she is already making a big difference. Our child is feeling more confident. She makes him feel comfortable and even his teacher can see improvement in his work. His progress report in school is reflecting growth in his skills. We are very happy with her services.

  • "I don't know where to begin when talking about how influential Daffany has been with my daughter. She is one of the most QUALIFIED, CONFIDENT, and PATIENT teachers I've ever met! Any parent would be WINNING with Daffany on their team!

  • "My son started his first school year with remote learning due to covid. When he got the opportunity to go to school in person he had anxiety and difficulty managing and expressing his emotions. We were lucky to meet and work with Mrs. Rivers. She worked with him patiently and professionally. By the end of the school year, the improvement was clear. He was able to express his feelings in a better way and control his emotions. Thank you so much for all that you did for him and for us as a family!!"

  • “Thank you for taking the extra time with my child over the years. You don’t know how much that impacted him and truly made a difference in him. Your dedication to children is undeniable; you go above and beyond to make sure no student is left behind but you also make sure they are comfortable enough to express themselves to you and be confident in who they are. This really means a lot to me as a parent and I’m so glad my child got the experience to know you and to know there are people who push you, love you, and hold you accountable all at the same time.”

  • “It’s certainly true that our son, who had some anxiety with the adjustment from Primary to the Lower Elementary grades, benefited from your kindness and acceptance in the classroom! In our household, we still often remind each other about one particular Affirmation that we learned from you: “I choose my attitude!”

    ~ The Alexander Family

  • “As a grandmother, I would like to personally thank you. My grandson had a great year because of you. You gave him confidence but also corrected him when needed. You made him comfortable enough to express himself and take accountability for himself when he has done something wrong. For that, I am truly thankful. He enjoyed his time with you and we wish we could’ve kept you forever!”
