Family School Navigation (FSN) is an initiative of Perch Place, LLC. Through a holistic approach to early childhood education, FSN helps families prepare their children—and themselves—for a successful transition into school at the Little Falls City School District (LFCSD). The Family School Navigator (FSN) is embedded at Benton Hall Academy (BHA), collaborating with students, families, school staff, and community partners. Their mission is to strengthen kindergarten readiness and build a solid foundation for long-term success. The Family School Navigator serves as a bridge between families and the school community. By addressing barriers early, supporting positive family-school relationships, and aligning resources, the FSN helps ensure students enter school better prepared socially, emotionally, and academically.
