Family Testimonials
"Carmel Tuminaro is the teacher every parent dreams their child will have. Her patience, kindness and warmth not only enhance a child's learning experience, but help put parents at ease. She is constantly willing to go the extra mile to keep parents informed and included in their child's growth and development. Wherever Carmel is teaching is where I want my child to be. Basically, if children came with instructions one would read "SEND ME TO THE PLEASE AND THANK YOU CHILDREN'S PLACE!" ~ Lisa Markowitz
"What a perfect way to start Kindergarten." ~ Marisa Calderon
"The BEST hidden secret in West Harrison! My 3 year old joined Please and Thank You only recently and I am seeing such improvement in her speaking ability and her overall comprehension." ~ Harley Di Nardo
"Ms. Carmel's school has prepared my little girl for kindergarten and I could not be more grateful! I have two sons too, and they will definitely be joining Please & Thank You Children's Place once they are of age! ~ Yessenia Leticia Marquez
