Rebekah – HARMONY SCHOOL OF EXCELLENCE – HOUSTON NORTH DISTRICT (verified owner) – April 24, 2020

Not only do I find this information helpful in working with others, I find that some of her strategies can be applied even in my own life. She really looks at the holistic needs of the child and not just the academic needs of gifted children.
