Family engagement metrics that matter As a mom of a rising kindergartener, I can’t believe that back-to-school season is already upon us. I’ve written before about our journey finding a kindergarten placement for my daughter.

Let’s just say that life felt a little like this: (Parents/caregivers – I know you know.) To survive… Continue reading The Engage with Data blog is back!
When the data speaks for itself (I’m back! Let’s just say that working from home full-time with an infant and no childcare is not for the faint of heart.
