🙋‍♀️ WHAT ARE YOU DOING FRIDAY?


Hi Friend!

I've got my first in person workshop coming up this Friday 4/11 and I'd love to see you there.

Here's why you should come:

  • You'll know what questions to ask when touring schools
  • You'll learn low/ no effort tricks to teach your child at home
  • You'll learn how to make your clingy child feel confident walking into kindergarten

Plus, I'll send you a survey beforehand, so you can share everything you're wondering about education. It will be personalized to your needs. We'll cover it all in the workshop.

Anything you're wondering, I have probably experienced and can help you make a confident decision. 🍎 I'm a seasoned kindergarten teacher who loves supporting parents. I've taught at public, private, and a variety of magnet style schools.

⭐️ Oh, and it's at People's Market Elizabeth which has the best dirty chai in Charlotte!
