Lipsett Learning is excited to announce its new home! On March 13, 2020, I was looking at office spaces with two other amazing women. Luckily we did not sign a lease that day. 3 years later, I've settled into my new office on 116 N. Main, Lexington (across from the best donuts in town).

I had a great day leading PD at a school embracing inclusion. I get so excited to hear educators dive into this work. Their passion - at the end of a crazy hard year - is inspiring.

When disregulated, an individual can not access their language, so "use your words" is impossible!

When they talk, let's listen❤️

Thank you, SimplyFun
