"Our daughter Keilani loved learning at Bright Beginning! She came home excited about phonics and even enjoyed doing homework! Keilani did writing assignments, brought home books for us to read together, and even started reading before kindergarten! Even today, Keilani’s love for reading and writing has blessed her life and she views all things related to school with such positivity and excitement because of Mrs. Wasson and her wonderful phonics program! We are so grateful!"
-Jennifer Kajiyama Tinkham, JD, MPA
"Mrs. Wasson is a brilliant educator with years of training and professional experience. Her personal phonics curriculum is a proven program for children of all skill levels. It’s creative, educational, engaging, and fun. As a parent and educator, I truly appreciated the diversity in her curriculum, which includes storytelling, games, role playing, singing, and more. All four of my children attended Bright Beginning Preschool and developed a love for learning thanks to Mrs. Wasson and her phonics curriculum. I appreciated Mrs. Wasson’s love of teaching and genuine care for each child which led to their individual successes."
-Joselyn Akana, MSW
“Our daughter Mahina looks forward to going to school every single day and is diligent in not wanting to miss ANYTHING. She has also excelled in her phonics and is constantly improving on her alphabet letters, sounds, and more! I couldn’t be more grateful for Mrs. Wasson taking her time to educate all the keikis here in Hawaii! We can only imagine how much improvement each child can gain, whether it is from attending Bright Beginning Preschool, or gaining knowledge from the phonics lessons. Bright Beginning sets a foundation for a bright future for our keiki and we are forever grateful for that!”
-Anela and Brandon Benavides
“I cannot say enough about Mrs. Wasson’s methods of teaching young children how to read! Proven to work in her kindergarten classes, she brought this same phonics approach to preschoolers and introduced reading recognition in a fun and memorable way. She incorporates rhymes, songs, repetition, crafts, and writing to create confident pre-K readers! Her system is amazing! Our family has been blessed to have Mrs. Wasson’s phonics system create confident readers that were prepared to succeed when they entered kindergarten. We are so grateful for her dedication in creating this amazing phonics program!”
-The Gilman Family
