Explore Me A Story has helped shape my daughter into a well rounded, loving little girl.  My daughter is an only child and though the class she has come out of her shell and learned how to interact with other kids. She's learned how to listen, share, sing, dance, run and play with other kids.  Joanna has the patience of a saint and has a true gift with children. Her positive attitude and understanding of children radiates from her at all times.  I can't say enough great things about Joanna and the program that she's created for children. Jenifer K

Thanks to Explore Me A Story, my kids and I have been looking forward to Monday mornings for the past 2 years.  This weekly class offers the perfect opportunity for me to enjoy some adult interaction with other parents, while my two boys are engaged in a wide variety of captivating, fun, and creative activities.  Ms. Joanna has been such a blessing for our family!  She is the type of teacher that any parent would love to have for his/her child because she builds kids up and makes them feel important and loved.  I cannot thank her enough for the positive impact she has had on my sons-and on me!   
If you haven't tried one of Joanna's EMAS or Yoga classes, get ready to be impressed with how energetic, fun and accommodating she will be for you and your children! Sarah W

I am here to write a testimonial of how greatly EMAS impacted myself as a mother and my three children. When I first discovered EMAS, my oldest was three. He had been to many play group settings so I knew he would love it. As I suspected, he loved it and thrived. It wasn't until I had my next child did I get to see the learning aspects she gained from EMAS. Starting as an infant I could see how quickly she picked up how to use the drum sticks, how to paint and explore with all the educational stations. An infants cognitive development is at an all time high during this age. EMAS helped my children to learn interactive play through water, paint, stories, sand, rocks, etc. Of course, Joanna, the teacher had a lot to do with it too. She made the class so enjoyable for everyone, even myself! I often found myself singing to the tunes being played and even joining in on feeling how weird the new slime concoction felt! We love EMAS and Ms Joanna! Jordan D
