Our first review!
"I'd love this series to be required viewing for all infant and toddler caregivers. Beverly Kovach's words of wisdom on what is truly important for the youngest children (primary caregiving, unhurried, respectful, relationship-building caregiving routines as the curriculum) will go far in improving the quality of care provided for little ones. I highly recommend these videos!"
Thank you, Sue.

Children will tell us if they don't FEEL safe, loved and cared for, they tell us with their body language, by the way they behave. Can we hear what they are saying, or will we say the child is "naughty", "trouble", "terribly two"? Or from the hands-off parents, will we excuse their behaviour as "spirited" and "strong willed" when the child is crying out for the love and loving guidance that spells safety?

From my daughter, Nicole Vigliotti:
"My mom and I have been working in the same field for two decades (wow- how did that happen?) when I ventured back to Charleston, SC to check out this little daycare thing she started when I was a kid. This is the first time, though, that we have collaborated together.
The project came about when I began consulting and working more and more with adults wanting to become Montessori or Resources for Infant Educarers practitioners. I'm more of a doer than a talker- kept wishing that I could work alongside Beverly Kovach letting her do the talking while I would focus on demonstrating how we put theory into daily practice at Little Learners Lodge. And then the right people came together at the right time in the right place...
I know we will be using this resource at our school with new teachers in an effort to build a respectful and collaborative teaching community of early childhood professionals focused on the care and well-being of our little ones. I hope other centers find us and find the information supportive of their very important work.
Thank you to the teaching team at Little Learners Lodge and Montessori School of Mount Pleasant for your many years of dedication to best practices and a special thank you to Blu and Shana for believing and investing in our profession!"
