Last year in Madeworthy Magazine, published by Tanglewood Moms, one of our very own, Claire Cartmel, was named a Fort Worth Top Teacher.

As a teacher at the Jane Justin School at the Child Study Center, Claire understands the important role for our teachers. She shared, "It's not lost on me that their first experiences can shape the way they feel about learning and the classroom in the future."

With that observation fresh in her mind, it makes perfect sense that Claire gleans such satisfaction in those breakthroughs. "I most recently taught the youngest class (ages 3 to 8)," she said. "It may seem like such a simple thing but I truly loved introducing them to the ways of the class and learning how to go to school, which was so new and strange to them. Making them comfortable with that structure was so rewarding."
