On October 1st, the Chantilly Neighborhood Association sponsored an exclusive workshop for our residents. The Kindergarten School Talk Workshop by Natalie Parmenter with Primary Focus was designed for parents searching for their child's elementary school. Below are links to the information we reviewed along with additional information and resources.

Resources:

• Discounted Check In Call: Got specific questions? Use the code CRAYON for $21 off a check in call. - if you've got a summer baby, this is a great call for you to figure out your game plan for kindergarten.

• FREE: I'm looking for a few parents to take the self guided course: Prepare Your Child for Kindergarten. It dives into techniques for your child to have a strong start to school. If you want to teach your child to read, be strong in math, and combat separation anxiety then this course is for you! If you're interested please reach out.
