Nursery School talks

This talk covers stuff you need to know to begin your preschool search; philosophies, things to look for on a tour, what to do when and how to focus on the big picture so you can calm down. I don’t talk about individual schools at this event and the evening talks are just for grownups or sleeping babies, but I have scheduled one daytime talk.
Thursday, Sept. 13, 7pm to 8:30pm at Mini Jake in Williamsburg
RSVP to make sure that I have enough chairs. Tickets are $5. extra per person if you buy at the door. [email protected]
