Andee Rose-Small
Andee joined the NFVHCP family in 2009 as our Office Assistant & Receptionist, in 2010 she took on the role of Resource Consultant and has enjoyed tremendously the opportunities this position has given to her in working with North Fork VISION Learners. Andee is currently finishing her Sociology degree with a concentration in Anthropology. She really enjoys working with families and learners in determining what educational choices and curriculum drive our Learners to learn. Andee is more middle of the road in Educational philosophy believing a balanced curriculum of core academics in combination with a concentration of the learners particular interests is most effective at leaving the door open for greater life choices beyond High School. This is a practice she utilizes in both of her children's VISION educations as well.
