As of june 30th 2017 we had a full enrollment of 24 children in the preschool program. Our preschool program is recommended by local independent gifted schools, iq testers and pediatricians for young children whose cognitive abilities are outside the norm. We offer a part-time preschool program, a weekly newsletter, parent-teacher conferences, field trips and an active alumni parent community. We had 63 families reach out to attend admissions events this year. parent coaching - is a service we offer to our enrolled families. During the summer, parents are welcome to email the leadership team with questions relating to raising or educating young gifted children. In-person parent coaching begins in the fall, both in group meetings and by individual parent request. Parent coaching is also offered to current and alumni families. We had 96 separate parent coaching sessions for the 2017-2018 school year. These sessions help our families with topics such as educational consulting, child development, parenting, gifted education, schooling needs and planning for future schooling needs. Our leadership team communicated with families over the phone, in person and through email. parent education - is a free community service open to the public. Our mission is to raise awareness of the unique needs of young gifted children. We had 135 families in our community attend 15 parent education seminars and events this year. Seminar topics included educational philosophies, children's temperaments, alumni parent panel, gifted programs, independent school admissions, young gifted children and executive function.
