child/caregiver class Testimonial
Our family is grateful for the Guiding Growth program, which provides a nurturing, supportive community for families and caregivers of infants. Jessica and Laura have prepared a beautiful environment that meets the changing developmental needs of the infants. What a joy this year has been to observe the infants grow, interact, and reach milestones at their own pace. They learn so much by observing and enjoying time with one another. - Mary Santelman (grandparent in caregiver class)
Professional Development Testimonial
Guiding Growth provided a two-hour training to 250 staff across 12 schools over Zoom. That format is inherently challenging, but even with those factors, Guiding Growth proved to be engaging, professional, and presented ideas that inspired and informed. The presentation was incredibly valuable and offered practical information based on research-based theories, nestled within the extensive experience of the presenters. - Jessica Ostrov, Regional Director of Montessori Education for Endeavor Schools in Minnesota
