About PickyParent.com

Welcome to PickyParent.com! We hope that whether you are a parent, educator, school leader, counselor or community leader, you will find what you need here to make the elementary years more powerful and productive for the children you love, nurture and teach every day.

We started the Picky Parent Guide book series in hopes of inspiring and equipping every parent to make the most of each child's school-age years — first by choosing the best learning environment that fits your child and family, and then by working to improve the results from any schooling situation.

In support of the book series, we are developing the PickyParent.com website with four complementary goals:

1. Fill the gaps that inevitably grow after producing static books (although the books provide the absolute core of what is most important in these matters, we aim to improve continuously),
2. Keep parents informed about the latest research and happenings in the education arena, and how these trends impact your children,
3. Generate a productive dialogue among all the adults who play roles in the education of children, and
4. Inform parents, educators, and community leaders about the work we do in support of each group.
