Justine is amazing, she’s non judgmental & likes to keep the peace & happiness flowing! My kids have been enrolled for just over a month, they have already done a camp out, gone on a field trip to Bayfront & Selby Gardens, they had an Owl specialist come & teach the kids about owl pellets. My son looks forward to whittling & playing in the creek. My daughter orchestrated a talent show. Both kids cannot wait for their C&K day and come home absolutely thrilled about their day! We’ve been in a couple great programs before but C&K is at the top of the list!! From the parent perspective, Justine has her ducks in a row! She has an easy to use app which she will walk you through. She has all necessary paperwork and has put a lot of time & thought into preparing everything for parents to be able to fully understand the program & schedule. I have not felt out of the dark, because she lays it out so well & detailed! I can’t say anything bad about this program or Justine. We love C&K and love love love Ms Justine!!!

I had the pleasure of working with Justine several years ago at a small, mountain town school in Colorado. Over the years, I have had the pleasure of watching her develop and enhance her passion for education. I was over the moon when she decided to start Curious and Kind. It’s as if every single step of her professional journey has been preparing her for this endeavor. Justine’s nature-based play program is not just a job for her; it’s her calling. Her outdoor classroom is a testament to her creativity, adorned with natural elements that seamlessly blend with the education. It’s refreshing to witness how she effortlessly transforms the learning space into a haven for exploration and hands-on engagement. It’s a joy to observe the genuine curiosity and excitement she ignites in her students.

Curious and Kind is not just an ALC, it is a community. It is a culture. A culture based on respect, communication, trust, and nature. Justine has created a safe, warm, and educational space where children have a safe space to grow and learn how to be contributing members of any community. Each child’s individual needs are met in a way that teaches how we can all be individuals but support one another in a community. The confidence our child has gained from being with Curious and Kind is immeasurable. Not only is Justine and Curious and Kind a phenomenal center but they are a beacon of hope for our community. Justines impact within our community for all ages is astonishing. I highly recommend Curious and Kind as well as anything Justine’s magic touches!
