•Accessible ideas that don’t require expensive devices or hours of time to implement.

“I’m impressed by the range and practicality of the ideas, all of them great, as promised. And I’m struck by the many ways in which the ideas not only address early childhood through the school years, but also help prepare children for the transition to adulthood and beyond.”
