Colleen was incredibly helpful in guiding us through the preschool application process. She knew far more about each program than I could have imagined and let us ask so many questions. Colleen’s approach is sensitive to the perceived needs of the child but also pragmatic. We would highly recommend her to anyone looking to navigate what is an unusual, complex, and opaque process.”
