Join us for a virtual workshop designed to jump-start your exploration into kindergarten!
Wondering when to start, how to develop your list of schools, or what to expect with parent interviews and tours? This is your chance to get the inside scoop as we dispel myths from the park bench. Led by Parents League School Advisor, Anne Burns, our Kindergarten workshop guides you through the admissions process for private or independent schools.
After the workshop, PLNY members are encouraged to schedule a 1-1 advisory session. Advisory sessions are personalized, targeting your family’s individual needs. Get trustworthy and professional advice while having your questions answered by our expert school advisory team.
**Due to the high demand for PLNY workshops, spaces are reserved for parents researching kindergartens only. If you’re a school administrator looking for information about Parents League’s Admissions Workshops, please contact us at [email protected].
**Generally, your child must be five years old by September 1 of the year of enrollment. Please email us at [email protected] with any questions about kindergarten-age eligibility.
**Video recordings: Though this event may be recorded for internal purposes, PLNY is not able to provide a video recording to participants. Please let us know if you miss a virtual event; we will gladly assist you in registering for another date.
