Mia is an employee of her communities school system and the mother of a six-year-old daughter. Mia has spent her career working with schools and seeing what they can offer children - but when it was time to enroll her own daughter, she admits the process was daunting. Her daughter was academically ahead during preschool, and although she has a late birthday, tested up to kindergarten when she was only four years old.  Mia admits that a lot of thought and conversation with her husband and other members of the school system went into making the decision -  but she says it was the best decision they could have made. We talk all about the intimidation of entering the public school system for the first time, how to navigate the various programs to make sure your child gets a great education, and what the heck an immersion program really is.
