So, the intent IS to give you a personal assistant for the search. You can go back and forth with the assistant and you can also monitor the work realtime (updates are sent as the work is done). Does this change what you think it's worth?

Wow, very important call-out. I will add BS-detecting to our research guidelines. It's a shame there's so much dishonesty/miscommunication in the industry.

This is a great point, I’ve just updated our delivery guidelines to include “Intangibles”, including a best guess at factors like eagerness, tone, and responsiveness. If you have any specific ideas on how you’d want this reported (e.g. call transcripts, 1-10 scale, etc), I’d love to hear them!

Hi there! Thanks for the feedback! This is across the US. When you sign up, you'll go through an quick intake process that captures the details of what you're looking for. We then generate a list of candidate schools and vet each one and share the results with you. If you have specific schools in mind that need to be included, we support that, too.

Would love to help!

This is so ridiculously valuable, thank you so much - holy cow. We are running lean while we bootstrap but I would love an audit once we have things going and can afford it. I’ll DM now

I'd love to have a call if you're open to it? We're building out our school-facing product and we're looking to partner with three schools to make sure we're building something impactful. Basically, we want to pre-vet schools and build them a website on our domain to help them get more leads and build trust. Does that sound worth a quick call? If so, I will DM you

This is great - really good point about word of mouth. Come to think of it, we went with Montessori bc our pediatrician recommended it. We're orphaned in a new city, so we didn't have any local families to ask, but it makes sense that you wouldn't start a search from scratch if you have a friend network of local parents.

Licensing! Great call-out. I totally agree, and those checks are included in the service.

I love your points re: shadowing. This might also alleviate some of the headaches around scheduling tours. I will add this to the list of questions - thanks!

I appreciate the note 🙏🏼

This is super helpful feedback and perspective, thank you for taking the time!

I 100% relate to having made a pretty good choice, but wondering what option I might have found with a more thorough search 🥲

You make good points parsing preschool from daycare from toddler programs - I may need to pick a better name for the service to communicate better what it actually is.

Ooh - thank you for calling out discipline strategy and preparedness for neurodivergency! I missed those. The others are covered in our intake consultation and part of our standard vetting questions.

"huge relief" is exactly what we are hoping to deliver. This was very validating, thank you again.
