In case you didn't see our earlier education guides,  I wanted to provide you with this link that explains why I created an education guide.   This guide contains some of my research plus information submitted by other sources and schools to help you make the right decision for YOUR child and to stay informed no matter where your children attend school! 

This will be the last education guide until the fall.  I'll focus on summer camps for the next few months and will have a 2014 Spring Break and Summer Camp Guide ready soon! Meanwhile, you can always find updated school/education information on my website!
