I know we will refer back to our MP3s of the course time and again when we need some support or ideas."

"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."
