This was her first time doing a musical and I was kind of nervous for her. Totally unwarranted, as I found out, because you guys really know how to encourage confidence. I hope we can do another musical sometime in the future.

Thank you so much for the amazing opportunity you provide our kiddos. Simone has really found her home in YADA. It is such a kind, nurturing environment that at the same time challenges kids to grow. We really appreciate everything you do. YADA is literally the only summer camp our kids want to do… everyone on staff is so kind and friendly… we really cannot say enough good things about YADA. It is my happy place and I just love it there.

It feels like they are family and that I just belong. Thanks so much for another incredible show and experience. Chase loves each director and every single moment of Yada.

We appreciate you all!! Thank you for all that you do. Lexey has had such a good time in her new Monday class. She loves her time at Yada so much and feels so supported by you and Rebecca. She is excited for the show and looking forward to the next class. It is truly all she talks about and is just loving it.

You can imagine that we all know every word of her songs. Thank you all for all the time, effort, energy and caring you put in to make it such an incredible experience for our kids! Thank you and the entire Yada team for creating such a wonderful environment and learning experience for the kids.

Tuesday is quite inspired by you, and wants to sing as well as you do. Im glad knowing she is in great hands.
