Whitehead Learning Group

A lot can change in a year! 🎉 Joyfully announcing the newest member of our team, Henry Adler, born January 3rd, 2024. Life with two boys 14 months apart is full of more wonder and delight than I could ever imagine. It’s also given me an entirely new appreciation of our mission : Empowering students to thrive. 🌍
To that end, we’ll be changing up our platform a little bit. We’ll still be highlight different Atlanta schools, clarifying admissions guidelines, and unpacking curriculum. But we’ll also be sharing more BTS details on ways to introduce reading, SEL content , numeracy, and more AT HOME with your childhood/preschool children.
By empowering parents, we can more effectively equip and encourage our students. After all, if we want to go fast, we go alone….But if we want to go far, we go together. 💙

The transferability of gross motor skills can be seen in essential self-care skills. To more holistically assess kindergarten-readiness skills, independent schools and teachers are broadly evaluating a child’s gross motor skills. Here’s what we’re looking for:
• Balance
• Bilateral integration
• Body awareness
• Crossing Midline
• Hand-eye coordination
