Our Approach

We are here to support parents of diverse learners. We recommend all our interested families begin by booking a FREE 30 minute consultation, where we will begin to explore the student's challenges and hear the goals families have in mind moving through them. After a bit of brainstorming, Kidz 1st will develop a thorough, hands-on plan and suggest the services to best implement it based on each student's needs and goals. With years of experience and vital knowledge, Kidz 1st will ensure families have access to the proper support and services for their child's success.

TESTIMONIALS

"My family is so grateful to have Randi as our support during the last very stressful school year. She has so much experience as an educator for many years , former principal and mom. She understands kids, what they need and how to empower them to show up as their best selves. Randi has extensive knowledge of the different schools, special education, psychological/educational testing and accommodations. She really listens and is able  to pinpoint the areas of weakness and offers concrete steps to move forward. Thank you Randi!"
