I want all of the children that come into my class to feel the way that Susan makes her students feel. Susan truly models the most exemplary leadership skills with regards to teaching, curriculum planning and connecting with children. I feel blessed to have been a part of her class not only as an educator but as a learner myself.
Susan reinforced and motivated me. I would leave her classroom wishing that she could be my child’s teacher. That’s how amazing I think that she is at what she does with the children in her program!

As a parent with a seven year old boy, I appreciate the tremendous insights that Susan shares through the Nurtured Inspirations Approach and The Seven Pillars of Well-Nurtured Children. I have been looking for something to help nurture and build a solid foundation in my child’s development.
Susan takes a holistic approach to building not only educational fortitude but she also helps support a confident, healthy child through her educational philosophy.
I highly recommend Nurtured Inspirations to anyone that would like to play a part in their children’s development. If we leave it all to classroom-style learning our children are missing out on multiple dimensions of emotional, social, and moral well-being, cognitive function, wellness in their self-identity.

I treasure being a member of Nurtured Inspirations and through these unprecedented times, it has given me solace and a place to connect with like-minded and inspiring educators.
When I have had a particularly challenging day I look forward to picking up where I left off on my Nurtured Inspirations courses to re-energise myself and dedicate time to what I am passionate about.
Susan, as an early childhood educator for over 25 years now, you remind me of my WHY.
I had a sneaky peek at your website last night as a treat to myself. Your website is like a treasured favourite book that I have not yet read to the end and kind of don’t want to because I don’t know what I’ll do with myself if I finish it. It’s also like one of those books you’ve read over and over and still find it fascinating. I savour every moment. Thank you.
