A structured parenting support system to help families understand early childhood milestones, build confident routines, and prepare for the preschool years ahead

    Early Years Admissions Guidance

    We plan admissions timelines and strategies for daycare, preschool, and private school (JK) based on each family’s goals and school fit.

    Parent Education Program

    Our Parent Education Program equips families with expert insights on child development, learning routines, and the factors that contribute to private school readiness. Through monthly online classes and 1:1 coaching, parents learn how to support their child’s cognitive, social-emotional, and language growth from infancy onward.

    Parent & Me Classes

    In these interactive classes, parents and children participate together in guided activities that strengthen the parent-child bond, support language development, and build children’s ability to confidently adapt to classroom settings. Children gradually develop social confidence and overcome separation anxiety, while parents gain practical strategies for supporting learning and development at home.

    Family Profile Planning

    We help parents understand how private schools view family involvement and parent profiles. Through personalized planning, we advise on building the right mix of community engagement, extracurricular involvement, and family routines that will support a strong profile when admissions time arrives.

    Family Activity Planning

    We work with parents to design meaningful at-home and extracurricular experiences that support whole-child development and align with private school expectations, ensuring every opportunity in your child’s early years contributes to their future readiness.

Answers to Parents’ Most Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Book a Complimentary Consultation
  • Is it too early to start if my child is under 1 year old?

    Starting early is a smart move. Building strong habits and a nurturing environment from infancy lays the foundation for language, social, and emotional development. Top private schools often look for families with a long-term educational vision.

  • How is this different from a typical parent-child class or daycare?

    Our program combines parenting coaching and admissions planning. Unlike daycare or playgroups, we focus on long-term development goals and school readiness, offering structured support based on your child’s age and future aspirations.

  • We don't have a specific target private school in mind yet. Can we still join?

    Absolutely! We guide families to understand private school options, clarify educational goals, and create a step-by-step admissions roadmap based on your values and your child’s unique strengths.

  • If we enroll in KEY’s LaunchPad preschool later, do we still need this program?

    Yes. This program lays the foundation for LaunchPad and beyond, helping families establish parenting routines and developmental readiness so children can thrive once they enter preschool.
