Questions before applying

  • What should the portfolio prove: language, curiosity, service, arts, sports or self-care?
  • If there is an interview, will the child face individual tasks, group play, parent questions or written observation?

Tonight's practice

Use short, varied practice instead of rehearsed scripts. Prepare one parent explanation of fit, one child self-introduction and one calm recovery phrase for questions the child does not understand.
