What clients are saying…

"Ashley and Melissa were tremendously helpful to my husband and I in preparing for the entire application process from managing expectations, knowing what to say and making sure we felt prepared for anything and everything. They also have been working with our daughter and we love their approach. They make learning and skill building fun with games and she’s actually excited for their sessions."

-Horace Mann Parent
"I am so grateful to have found EarlyBird. Melissa and Ashley's continuous guidance and expertise have truly been invaluable. Their informational sessions are a wealth of information. They have pointed out how we can take our daughter's critical thinking skills further at home in our interactions with her as she prepares for K."

"Our son's multiple acceptances at our top schools.."

Working with EarlyBird was the easiest decision we made heading into the kindergarten process. My husband and I are not native New Yorkers and what could have been an overwhelming experience, was anything but thanks to Ashley and Melissa. Their assessments of our son were spot on, highlighting the ways we could better prepare him for the process. Their impressive knowledge of each school helped us focus our efforts on the schools that would be the ideal fit for our family. They always made themselves available whether it be for a parent mock interview, a scheduling strategy session or edits on our thank you notes and parent statements. No ask was ever a problem. Our son's multiple acceptances at our top schools speaks volumes to the care and effort Ashley and Melissa put into their work!

"Hiring EarlyBird was the best money I’ve ever spent!"

I cannot praise, thank, or recommend Ashley and Melissa enough. They were instrumental in getting our daughter into our top choice Kindergarten in an extremely competitive year. They were available for all my frenzied calls, texts and emails and always put me at ease. Ashley and Melissa are consummate professionals and throughly prepared both me and my daughter for the process, setting us up for success. Thank you again girls, hiring EarlyBird was the best money I’ve ever spent!
