Private Practices

I began my Color Splash classes in 2015 in Jacksonville, FL. My Color Splash class provides a 🖐🏻 hands-on, “hands-in” sensory experience while introducing vocabulary, socialization, cognitive development, and lots of fun!! 🥳 I like to facilitate speech and language development through play and a multi-modal approach to learning. I believe in focusing on the whole child and teaching through experience.

Color splash is a great example of babies and toddlers learning through play. Ms. Natalie is ...a speech pathologist, and that is really apparent in the structure of the class and all of the quality vocabulary that is presented in such a fun way. The class is organized, entertaining and educational. Ms. Natalie is very engaged with the kids. We did a few private speech lessons for my son and I feel that he gets the same benefit, if not more, from this speech class in a small group setting. She is also very clean and disinfects frequently which is so important in these times. I am so happy with my son’s speech and socialization progress since joining Color Splash!

We absolutely love color splash! I have two children who attend both love the class! This is ...the only class that we attend (and we attend quite a few since both are not in school) that is so organized! Ms. Natalie truly thinks of everything! She welcomes each class with a circle time to get the kids to focus. During that time she expresses using different senses such as our noses, my youngest is learning that she can smell with her nose now! Afterward when we use the bins, my kids have the opportunity to explore different sensory bins, all of which us parents are encouraged to use certain vocabulary words to help the kids build on speech. She even incorporates snack based on the color of the week - how amazing!!! I couldn’t be happier finding color splash and having the opportunity for both my children to join! I truly feel they are learning and growing so much! We are very very happy!

I would like to give a special thanks to Ms Natalie for the incredible work that she performs at Color Splash. My twin boys ...have grown educationally so much since they started going to her class. She is always cheerful, helpful, entertaining and supportive to all the children in the classroom. Her songs are fun, activities amazing, and instructional as well. I am so happy and grateful to have found her . My kids look forward to going every Tuesday to Color Splash. Thanks so much for everything you do for the little ones… you are the best

Color Splash has been a pivotal part of his development. He fell in love with Mrs. Natalie who ...has taught him and also loves him very much. We've had so much fun playing with all different colors and textures every week. I've got to watch N blossom in this class expanding his vocabulary and having so much energy and personality. I'm grateful he didn't realize yesterday was his last class and I'll be sad for the both of us. The best aspect we got out of Color Splash are the wonderful close and best friends. B"H because of Color Splash we've expanded our village with incredible moms and kids. I'm forever grateful to Natalie for being an amazing part of my boys lives.
