Testimonials for Self-Esteem Program
“Esteemed Kids is a powerful, playful positive experience for every child. Karen's positive energy unlocks the door to every child's heart leading them on a magical trip toward being their greatest self.”
Helice Bridges, Founder of Difference Makers International
“My girls loved the program! They were enthusiastic and excited about going to each class. They were always happy when I picked them up after class and loved to share their experiences with what they had learned. I highly recommend Karen's program”
Rhonda Baines, Homeschooling parent and President of GotVision.com
"Great program! Karen speaks to the children at their level, teaching them and at the same time having fun. It has been very beneficial to the after-school children. I have recommended the program to other recreation centers."
Kathleen Swigart, Program Director, Oceanside Parks and Recreation
"I was very pleased with the program. We had a large, attentive audience. The best part was how Karen got the children involved with singing, clapping and using costumes."
JoAnn Smith, Branch Manager, Del Mar Branch Library
"I especially liked the way Karen used puppets during her presentation. The children really responded to all her props. Also the songs were great and easy enough to learn during the presentation."
