(5 / 5) Flag as inappropriate - Not only myself but all of my neighbors and anyone else who has met Mrs. Madeja loves her. I did hear that when a parent has an outrageous request she respectfully lets them know that she makes decisions based upon the good of every child in the building. My daughter loves her and so i I!
