What our clients are saying...
“Jen assisted us in finding the right middle school, elementary school, and preschool for all of our three children in connection with our relocation from the east coast to Denver. She was knowledgeable, honest, authentic, candid, straightforward and incredibly responsive. She also assisted us in finding the right professionals to meet each of our children’s unique educational needs. Jen made the very difficult and overwhelming process of moving across the country much easier with her compassion, understanding, and strong working knowledge in education and the Denver community. I highly recommend using her services!”

“I absolutely loved working with Jen! I had done some of my own school research, but it’s very hard to know from afar if a school is great or not by its website. That’s where Jen’s incredible knowledge and connections come in handy! She was able to give me real feedback on the schools that I had already selected and then suggest other schools that I had not heard of as excellent options. On top of all that, having Jen involved in our school decision making process has eliminated so much stress and worry about choosing the wrong school for our kids. I couldn’t be more happy with our experience working with Jen!”
