We begin with an in-depth seminar outlining the NYC kindergarten landscape, including independent, public, charter, and parochial school options. Families gain a sophisticated understanding of application timelines, school philosophies, and strategic considerations.

Each family meets individually with our leadership team to thoughtfully curate a preliminary school list. These conversations are grounded in a deep understanding of your child’s academic profile, social development, temperament, and interests, as well as your family’s geographic and philosophical priorities.

Our goal is not simply placement — but alignment. Families leave with a strategic, well-organized plan and customized tools to navigate the process with intention.

Throughout the admissions season, our exmissions team provides tailored support with: 
- Tour and interview preparation 
- Playgroup readiness in a way that authentically reflects each child
- Application logistics and correspondence

We remain closely engaged to ensure the process feels steady and manageable.

In collaboration with classroom teachers, Site Directors, and the Head of School, we prepare detailed, confidential reports that thoughtfully and accurately portray each child’s growth, strengths, and readiness. These reports reflect both developmental insight and professional care.

We also provide guidance in crafting meaningful parent statements and supporting materials that genuinely reflect your family’s voice.

When admissions decisions are released, we work closely with families to evaluate offers and determine the best long-term fit. In the case of waitlists or additional considerations, we engage in thoughtful communication with ongoing schools and advocate for each child with professionalism and discretion.
