👋🏼 Hey there and happy Friday!

I’ll take this moment to introduce myself, & my work here at @learnwithless

I’m Ayelet (i-YELL-it) Marinovich, a pediatric speech-language pathologist, parent educator, imperfect mom of two little people, & founder and host of Learn With Less®.

Learn With Less® is a parent education company dedicated to helping educators & new parents/caregivers feel confident they can support & connect with babies & toddlers — without having to buy a single toy.

We do this by:
1️⃣ Helping parents & caregivers understand basic knowledge about early development, connect play to learning, use simple materials & natural, everyday interactions, and support/connect with other families.

2️⃣ Helping professionals working with infant/toddler families (eg, educators, therapists) create successful community-based parent education & parent support programming using the Learn With Less® curriculum.

Here are a few things I believe:

⭐️ Access to high quality information & support — in community - makes us all stronger. Our lives and our safety are interconnected.

⭐️ Play is for everyone, & does not require access to fancy, inaccessible toy subscriptions

⭐️ We need to confront the ways in which privilege is present both in the parenting world & in the world of education, working to understand the systems in place, & doing our part to dismantle them. Black Trans Neurodivergent Disabled Lives Matter.

Here at Learn With Less®, we strive to create inclusive, equitable resources that make everyone feel seen and heard.

You hear the call from the baby industry: 🗣️

You hear the call from the baby industry:
🗣️ more toys
🗣️ THIS toy!
🗣️ better toys

And of course:
🗣️ you’re not enough
🗣️ you don’t have enough

Enough time, enough energy, enough stuff (particularly of the “right” stuff)

Here at @learnwithless our goal is to help you use what you ALREADY have to support and connect with young children.

Our newest resource, Connect Learn Play, was designed to do just that

Helping you learn to trust that the environment itself, when utilized and guided by the partnership of both you and a young child,

… Can facilitate play and learning.

Grab Connect Learn Play today!

And then tell us: what is YOUR favorite way to use everyday objects and everyday routines to support tiny humans in your life?

“The heart of anti-bias work is a vision of a world in which all children are able to blossom, and each child’s particular abilities and gifts are able to flourish.”

Derman-Sparks, L., & Edwards, J. O. (2010). Anti-Bias Education. Anti-bias education for young children and ourselves, 1-10.

Children are nested in families and communities with unique strength.

As facilitators of community-based “caregiver & me” infant & toddler developmental groups, we can:
✅ Build on & identify strengths and shared goals
✅ Understand, incorporate history & traditions
✅ Actively support each child’s development
✅ Recognize that practices are embedded in culture

As a professional working with new families - and

As a professional working with new families - and as a parent myself, I can certainly relate to this quote from one of our @learnwithless facilitators:

💫 “I was the educator/parent who was always looking for NEW toys and materials.

I can now appreciate the simple materials and realize not all activities have to be perfectly curated to be effective!” 💫
