In general, kids who know how to ask for help and have the confidence to do so tend to perform much better in school. Why?

When a parent tells me they want an exit strategy for Montessori, this is the conversation we have. First, let’s say this clearly. Montessori is the right fit for many children. It is not the right fit for all. And it does not have to be a forever decision. Wanting an exit strategy does not mean something is wrong. It means you are thinking ahead. Here’s how I help families plan this intentionally. Montessori can be a beautiful foundation in the early years. There is a strong focus on independen

When a parent tells me they plan to start public and then transition to private down the road, here’s what I tell them. First, you need to understand entry years. Ideally, you want to apply for an entry year where the school is taking on a larger number of students. That’s where the most space exists. That doesn’t mean applying in a non entry year can’t work. It can. But the reality is the spots are drastically limited, because you’re usually competing for the few spaces that open when families

😳😬 there’s so much that can be said about this. Clients who know me, know how much I love data. When it comes to education, parents are often subjected to the opinions of other parents, but that is very subjective. Seeing this type of data laid out is thought provoking, to say the least. Some parents see this and think, “this reinforces why I am choosing French Immersion.” Other parents see this and say, “this just reinforces why I’d never choose French Immersion.” Either way, data can help us

This is one of the most common debates I see between parents, and it’s almost never about the school itself. It’s about what you value most for your child. One parent wants smaller class sizes and individualized support. The other wants financial stability, a strong sense of community, and diversity of experience. Both are right, because both are thinking about their child’s future, just from different angles. Here’s what I tell families: stop thinking of it as public vs private and start thinki

We talk a lot about success. Confidence. Independence. Grit. Perseverance. But we don’t talk enough about where those skills actually come from. Kids are not born knowing how to keep going when something feels hard. Perseverance is learned. It is built over time through language, repetition, and experience. And despite what many parents assume, this is not a skill that is guaranteed to be taught at school. Perseverance is not part of the curriculum. It is not explicitly assessed. It is not consi

There’s a Better Way to Advocate for Your Child Advocacy is a powerful profession, and skilled advocates play an important role. I also believe parents can become confident, effective advocates for their own children. You can learn to speak with clarity, prepare with strategy, and walk into meetings grounded and informed. I’ve advocated as a parent and as a professional, and I’ve developed a clear system that teaches parents how to do this step by step. You don’t have to feel overwhelmed. There’
