We LOVE Ms. Mina! Her positive energy, humor, comfort with children of all ages, personality, silliness, creativity, and most of all CARE is unparalleled with any teacher we have ever met. Our love and appreciation for her over the past 3 years continues to grow. Throughout Covid-19, My Treehouse Club was our saving grace and Novi enjoys it so much we have continued it by Zoom - Big Badgers is full of creative movement, fun relays and games, story time, sharing, and is excellent for boosting confidence and communication. It is the 30 minutes of exercise and fun that any child would benefit from. The best thing is Ms. Mina’s personality - she not only makes the kids laugh but it’s fun for the parents as well and she truly enjoys interacting with them and knows each child like family.

We originally signed up for My Treehouse Club Zoom Art class to prepare for a zoom group kindergarten interview so my daughter could gain experience talking to people over a computer. The class is so engaging and Ms. Mina incorporates sharing time, songs and individual participation with questions to the kids, along with the history and background of the particular artwork of the week. Now that we are past the zoom group interview, my daughter loves the class so much she wants to still continue with it, and possibly try other classes in the future!

My daughter has been a My Treehouse Club student since its inception in 2020.
She loves Japanese class with Ms. Mina on Sundays! Ms. Mina incorporates arts and crafts, games, story time and more into her classes. She also provides all of the materials needed for the class which makes mama happy 😊Ms. Mina is proficient, engaging, fun, and AMAZING at what she does! My daughter has gained confidence and learned so many skills thanks to Ms. Mina and her online classes. We LOVE My Treehouse Club!

We started with My Treehouse Club Japanese class a little over a year ago and so far it’s been great! My daughter loves the songs and sings them to us all the time. I know she’s learning cause she’ll randomly use Japanese words for things. Plus the crafts they make in class are so creative and cute!

Jaxton LOVES going to the preschool prep classes every Tuesday and Thursday! Miss Mina does such a great job at keeping ALL of the students (who are all squirmy toddlers) in the class engaged! Every class is highly interactive and so much fun! :)

Lucas has been participating in My Treehouse since it started in 2020 and he was 2. Ms.Mina is engaging, bubbly and our family is so grateful she began this venture when she did. We are able attend class while traveling and even now that we're live on the mainland.

"I am so grateful for the energy, enthusiasm, and creativity of Ms. Mina and all the instructors at My Treehouse Club. We have been members from the very beginning as I have been struggling to find an age-appropriate and fun way to teach Japanese to my child.Online classes can be very dull and cookie cutter but these short, synchronous classes that are filled with storytime, craft activities, songs, and fun worksheets are truly amazing. My Treehouse Club offers a variety of classes and materials are mailed to you directly so there is no stress or worry!

We love My Treehouse Club because Ms. Mina is so creative, caring, and awesome with kids. We first met her around 2018 when she was the Director at My Gym in Aina Hina.
It was a great place for our son, but unfortunately it closed down due to Covid. As soon as we heard that Ms Mina was to open up her own online kids program, we signed up quickly. I think we were her first student. :)
Fast forward to almost 2 years later and we still enjoy our Japanese class on Sunday mornings. My son gets to practice his Hiragana, weather, colors, singing songs, saying his name, and doing lots of fun activities during the class.
We love to support Ms Mina as her niche is truly teaching and nurturing kids. She is always positive, super energetic, and very helpful. We recommend her to everyone we know with kids.

Ms. Mina has a gift with children that immediately made my daughter feel comfortable in class. Due to COVID, classes have been online, and I was so surprised how interactive the curriculum is and how she was able to keep the little ones engaged on Zoom. I can't wait to see how much fun in-person classes will be, but at the same time, I appreciate that she always looks out for the safety and well-being of her students and families! Side note...when she says she never forgets a child's name, it's not a lie! She has some kind of super power when it comes to memorizing names--even siblings, parents and pets!

We had been looking for a fun educational activity to engage our daughter this past summer. We stumbled upon My Treehouse Club; we started in July 2021 and can't get enough! We look forward to our Sunday morning Japanese class. It's filled with songs, dance, and just the right amount of silliness to keep my 3-year old daughter engaged (not an easy task when doing it all online!) It is a comprehensive Japanese class, where language, writing, and culture are interwoven seamlessly with fun games, songs, and crafts. Ms. Mina gives her all each week and it shows! It's not only a class for my daughter, but also my husband and I as well! We are all learning, together! It is a great bonding activity for our family and we are so grateful to Ms. Mina! "I love my treehouse club!"

We took both the Japanese and art class. My kids loved participating in the discussions and doing all the fun arts and crafts that tied in with the topic of the week. They learned a lot about culture too. Miss Mina is always patient, enthusiastic, and super responsive. Just an excellent teacher.
