Facilitation

EARLY STEPS provides personal guidance to families through the complicated New York City independent school admissions process, beginning a year before your child will enter school.  The initial conference is followed by a series of telephone consultations that allow our counselors to get to know your family and child well in order to develop a plan that is tailored for your child’s success as an applicant and your family’s budget.  We treat our applicant families like family, and advocate for them every step of the way.  We help families to consider the opportunities available in a wide variety of independent schools while providing guidance and support in many areas including:
  • Application procedures
  • School selection
  • School tours and interviews
  • Financial aid application process
  • Admissions testing procedures
