  1. Thanks for all you do. You guys are the best! I will be at the Willows book event and at the Betsy Brown Braun event.

  2. Thank you for the great session on October 1st. I was able to learn so much and was just happy to finally meet you in person. I can’t recommend your book and blog enough. It’s been a great starting point for my family. Still have a long way to go but it’s great to know there is a generally a light at the end of the tunnel!

    Thanks again.

  3. I was planning on attending this event and something has come up. Is there any way I can gather the information on the schools attending and other vital information I should want to know about from this event? Or an email address of a contact I can reach out to for follow-up?
    Thanks! And so sorry to miss it!

    1. I don’t know of a way to get the information from the event after its over. All the admissions directors/staff from the schools come to the event, but after that you might have to contact each school directly. Or, try the website for LAAIS listed on the event flyer.

    1. Hi Laura,

      There’s going to be an event Tuesday night, Oct. 11th. I’m going to be speaking about navigating private kindergarten admissions. It will be at Brentwood Presbyterian Church Preschool at 6: 30 p.m. I’m just about to post it on the blog. We have a few spots left and it’s free!
