"My child had such a lovely time at Little Oak. The preschool program prepared her well for kindergarten. She has many fond memories of her preschool friends and her caring preschool teacher." Joleen Bailleul, Vernon
"I am a very busy mom of three girls aged 4, 6 and 8. I never have time to sit down with my youngest to teach her as I did with my older children, and yet she surprises me every week with a new outstanding achievement, like printing her name, reading some short words, knowing astonishing facts about nature, or using scissors as a 'pro', all of it learned at Little Oak. Sally Towers is the best doorway to a successful, happy, confident entrance to Kindergarten. Do not let yourself be cheated by her unassuming natural approach... SHE IS THE BEST." Charo Lloret.

Focus when interacting with children:
" I build a child's confidence by selecting tasks that match his or her developmental level. I provide a variety of activities to spark their interest and engage them.
I observe the child’s experience in different tasks and try to broaden it. I support the child in a way that develops trust. "
Areas of interest:
- Helping children by adjusting sensory input and task demands helping them to manage their arousal level and manage anxiety (self-regulation).
Education (additional):
Specific courses taken in working with children with autism and anxiety.
