Educational Planning

For students in grades K-7

Many families think that they don’t need to worry about their child’s education until it’s time to go to college. By committing to the educational planning process early, a student can increase the likelihood of being accepted into a college or university with the most to offer.  As an Independent Educational Consultant, Lindsay Heywood will act as a guide and mentor to families as they navigate the school system for their young students.  

 

Lindsay knows that the elementary years are the foundational building blocks to set students up for the rest of their life.  She has seen the way that missing out on these years has wreaked havoc for students years down the road.  She is committed to helping families receive the high quality education that they deserve.  Students in grades K-7 are learning key skills at school, not just academics but also socially and emotionally. 

 

Having been a classroom teacher in public schools for nearly 10 years, Lindsay knows how easy it is for students to fall in the gaps.  With us, you can rest assured that your student will have our full attention and focus.  We are committed to partnering with parents to ensure that students are on grade level and on a path towards a successful life.  

 

We like to keep the big picture in mind when working with young children; yes, they may only be in elementary school now, but they will grow up regardless of how much we may want them to stay young forever. As parents, your main job is to raise your child to become a fully independent and competent adult.  Let us share our expertise on the school system and educational philosophy and take some of this burden off your shoulders.

 

To find out more details regarding our education planning services, parents may schedule a free 30 minute strategy session. If you want a more personalized approach, families may attend an initial consultation that serves as an introduction to the education planning process. We prefer for parents to attend all the meetings in order for everyone to get the most out of the process.
