For parents

Threshold Café

Think about where education is going — and what that means for your child.

“For the first time in a long while, I felt like there was a place for parents who want to think deeply about education without shouting or panic. Threshold feels like sitting down with people who respect both childhood and the future — and that’s changed how I talk with my child at home.”
Mara Wold, Campbell, California
“Threshold didn’t give me answers — it gave me perspective. I came in worried about AI and the future my child is growing into. I left feeling calmer, clearer, and more confident about how to support my child without fear driving every decision.”
— Nikki Guichet, Marina, CA
“What surprised me most was how the conversations at Threshold changed me first — and then quietly changed my child. I’m asking better questions now, listening more carefully, and our conversations about the future feel curious and hopeful instead of stressful.”
— Lety Gomez-Gong, Watsonville, CA
