Congratulations to our Chocolate Chip Scholars!

The Independent School admission process has a reputation for being daunting and is not for the faint at heart.  Many of our families began the process by attending our Fall Boutique Recruitment Event. After school visits, student and family interviews and other opportunities to get to know the schools, they toughed it out and made it through and lived to tell about the experience.

Well the acceptances letters are in and it's time to celebrate!  Join us over the coming days as we shout out our Chocolate Chip Kids! 

Congratulations to Rachel (one of my son's BFF's) who has been admitted and will be attending Riverdale Country Day School in the Fall!!

I'm especially proud of her because I've watched her grow over the years into sweet, well-mannered, self-disciplined and wise young lady.  She is truly the "mother hen" of her class!  Kudos to her wonderful parents and The Milestone School- where good beginnings never end.

Yeah for Ian (one of my daughters long time friends)!!  He's on his way to the Hackley School this fall!!  Ian is a product of The Milestone School and Harlem Succeess Academy. 

We have a special connection to Ian and his family because we're blessed to be apart of the same spiritual family.  Special shout out to Christian Cultural Center! 
Congratulations Ian!  Keep up the excellent work!




There are more to come.  Know a Chocolate Chip kid that we should feature.  Post a comment on the blog below and we'll be sure to collect the information.

Good Beginnings Never End.....Pre-K & Kindergarten Families

Doesn't my little guy look so handsome! This pictures was taken moments after The Milestone School's 30th Annual Recital. I can't believe that he's moving on from the 3 year old nursery class to being one of the oldest kids in the lower school in the fall. Where has the time gone! While we celebrate his success (phonics sounds, counting, etc.) we're focused on how to help him retain everything over the summer, so he's ready for Pre-K in September.

So if your like me and your child will be entering Pre-K or Kindergarten this fall you won't want to miss this teleconference (don't you just love technology:)). Our friends at RIISE: Resources in Independenct School Education will host:

"A Conversation About Beginnings--Beyond Nursery School"

Tuesday, June 15, 7:30pm – 8:30pm.

RSVP: info@4riise.org

Join me on this teleconference (you must RSVP to get call details) to gain a fresh perspective on the early primary years. The discussion will be led by Jonina Herter, Director of the Early Childhood Programming at Riverdale Country School in NY, who has over 20 years of experience developing children in the classroom. She will answer questions and share her thoughts on what to expect and the great ways you can acheive success by partnering with your school!
