Freespinners has been such a wonderful opportunity for my 8-year old son to build confidence sharing, imagining and being silly with a group of peers while supported by David and Meredith, who are so attentive and joyful.

My oldest son has grown up with David and Meredith. A writer at heart, he has thrived in this environment evolving his storytelling and character development skills along with leadership, encouragement, and problem solving. The maturity that R has shown in the subtle exploration and development of the characters in his stories--from a very young age--has consistently stunned me.

Aditya has been nothing but consistently enthusiastic about attending your program. It may be the only educational/social program that he has an unwavering appetite for over the years.

Freespinners has been a true highlight in my daughters week for the past two years. The teachers are simply the best.  She learns so much and has such a magical experience with them.  They bring out so much creativity and joy in the kids, it's a blast for my daughter and just as much fun for me when I hear her telling stories. It has been beautiful to watch her confidence grow as well and they have such a wonderful peer group. This is a must have class for us now in our weekly rhythm and will continue to be for as long as it's offered!

Nurturing, collaborative, and FUN! My teen has found wonderful friendships and is full of joy and enthusiasm after each session. They have expanded in creativity and courage as a writer and as a human in the greater world. Teen Council is a significant and invaluable part of my teen’s life. As a parent, I couldn’t be more grateful.

Even though Fenn is quieter than some students in your classes, he has done wonderfully in expanding his speaking, spontaneous processing and storytelling abilities. Most importantly, he feels safe and connected to your community of lively, storytelling students and adults. You two are magical mentors :) We look forward to him further stretching himself and growing in your classes :)

Our daughter Caroline has been part of the Teen Council at Story Steps Education for the past 2 years. She started programs with David and Meredith during the spring of 2020 and has been blessed to be a part of this community of learners and explorers ever since. From pirate to podcaster and everything in between, Caroline has enjoyed the magic that David and Meredith continue to create in their small group online settings. The confidence, creativity and communication skills that they have helped to foster will last her a lifetime.
