Expert 4+ prep

We enlisted Maria’s expertise in preparing our little one for the 4+ assessments. The 4+ process can be daunting for parents as there isn’t very clear information on what will be assessed at some of the top schools. And when there are hundreds of applicants for a handful of places, sending your little one unprepared seems foolish. Maria’s emerald curriculum filled that need for us. It covered all 7 areas of the EYFS curriculum in both breadth and depth. A lot of parents think doing structured learning with a 3 year old is unfair to the child. But in reality the emerald curriculum was a lot of fun! It helped us to identify areas in which our child needed to work a bit more and built up the little one’s confidence beautifully! We did the 3-month course but of course if I could I would have also chosen the full 12 month program as I have seen how much my child advanced in just these 3 months. Maria is super responsive and was always just a message away for any questions. In the end, having guidance from someone who knows how the process works and is able to feedback when your child needs more proficiency in something is invaluable. We received offers from 4 of the 5 schools we applied to and are very thankful to Maria for all her support. Highly recommended her if you’re considering 4+ prep.
