Hosted by a real kindergarten teacher:
Hi, I'm Natalie! I was an elementary school teacher in CMS for 10 years. I've taught at public, private, and two types of magnet schools.
When I taught kindergarten, parents came to me with the same questions year after year. I wondered...isn't there a book or expert sharing these answers?
Turns out there wasn't! That's how Primary Focus was born. I'm dedicated to supporting parents so their children can thrive in school.
I want the transition to kindergarten to feel easy for you!

Yes and No- about 70% of the information will be relevant to you, but some of the localized school discussion may not apply.
