Education is kinda a rowdy place.<\/h3>\n

There are plenty of loud opinions (not all evidence-based), never enough money or time to support each unique child in class, and unexpected twists & turns.<\/p>\n

(cough, like a once-in-a-generation pandemic that has hollowed out the teaching corps, cough)<\/em><\/p>\n

My goal?<\/p>\n

To help parents like you create supplemental, sustainable child-centered preschool education.<\/h4>\n

I partner with parents who have enrolled children in convenient but imperfect daycares & public schools to mute the anxiety of school choice, and teach the design secrets of a joyful preschool at home.<\/p>\n

We package all that into an experience you can ACTUALLY implement, so your littles absorb what they learn with greater depth, and YOU teach with greater impact.<\/p>\n

I cross-my-heart promise\u2014
Supplemental learning for kids is a game changer.<\/p>\n

I roll up my vinegar & baking soda splattered sleeves to advise parents who are ready to accelerate learning during their children\u2019s golden window of opportunity \u2013 that 3-6 year old timeframe.<\/h3>\n

If you want to provide an unforgettable early childhood education that will withstand the test of time, now and in the decades to come, you\u2019re in the right place!<\/p>\n

It\u2019s time to get in on a progressive, individualized approach to your child\u2019s unique learning DNA and interests.<\/p>\n

^^ The fancy word for all that? Supplemental learning for kids.<\/em><\/p>\n

But all YOU need to know is that I\u2019ll hand over the facts, tools, and resources you need to create a creative atmosphere of enrichment at home, all while transforming the way you think about what a good education is and the critical role parents play in it.<\/p>\n

3K: Coming off of a 16 month center closure in which we had no childcare, our son\u2019s teachers remarked that academically and socially, he is ahead of his peers in the mixed age (3-5 year old) classroom.
PreK: In the first parent-teacher conference of the year, our son\u2019s teacher shared that he already exceeded what he will learn in PreK, and noted that he is socially well adjusted.<\/p>\n
