“I’m so excited about these handouts and can’t wait to show everyone at our school! Thank you for creating these!”

Lauren Boyle, Founder & Curriculum Director, Lupine Lane School
“Last night my students sang your praises because they really enjoy the radio broadcasts. I played one for them on challenging children last night for discussion. One home day are provider said that she has so few professional development opportunities that listening to your shows helps fill the void.”

Gail Multop, professor, Northern Virginia Community College
“These will be wonderful attachments to my monthly newsletter!”

Dawn Stonehocker
“We’re still raving about your presentations. The feedback from both the public and staff was uniformly positive. …You have a gift for presenting research and practical ideas in a fun, interactive way. The activities you suggested can be put into use immediately and we are all looking forward to giving them a try.”

Betsy Brainerd, Family Place Librarian, Arapahoe Libraries
Teachers often look for new ways to teach concepts. Active Learning Across the Curriculum by Rae Pica is a wonderful addition to any elementary teacher’s professional library. “Movement is a young child’s preferred mode of learning,” is exactly right and an integral part of an early childhood classroom. This book has multiple ways of using developmentally appropriate practices to ensure children understand basic concepts. It also goes a step further as it addresses such issues as “personal space.” As an early childhood advocate, I would highly recommend this book for novice teachers and masters alike as they search for fresh ideas.

Becky Villareal, Retired Teacher
“You are truly an inspiration.… I personally feel that your efforts are so critical to healthy children…”

Janet Shapan, Producer LA Talk Radio show, “Answers for the Family”
