  • Are you looking for innovative and fun educational activities to share with your preschooler?

Then This e-Audio Course Is For You!!!

Get the scoop on the latest research and find out why "lap-time" is more important than "circle time". Explore the possibilities and actually try out some ideas for activities that promote early learning in a fun, relaxed and playful way.

"What a wonderful course, at an amazing price! This course was so helpful and validated everything we think and feel about educating our daughter and son. It's so nice to hear out loud that 'learning takes place every day whether you have evidence of it or not.' I know we will refer back to our MP3s of the course time and again when we need some support or ideas."

~ Charice Lawrie

Designed by homeschooling and educational specialists, Living and Learning With Preschoolers e-Audio Course was recorded during a series of live teleconferences in 2011. It provides you with the information needed to successfully educate and nurture your little ones at home. Each session (delivered electronically in MP3 format) is intended to maximize the time you have with your child and mentor you to be the engaged and informed parent you want to be.

You will learn more about:

  • Early childhood development
  • Encouraging your youngster's curiosity
  • Effective discipline and family dynamics
  • Nutrition and how to cope with picky eaters
  • Playful ways to develop early learning and readiness skills

"What a fabulous telecourse! I enjoyed every minute of it. As a mom of a 2 1/2 year old son, it was great to hear other parents echo my own opinons (little/no TV, 'old school' toys like Lincoln Logs, etc.). I also learned new ways to incorporate learning into my daily routine."
