🐣We help new parents feel confident they can support & connect with their babies and toddlers, without having to buy a single toy! learnwithless.com

👋🏼 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, & founder, and host of the Learn With Less® podcast.

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.

When we think of the “why” behind our work as

When we think of the “why” behind our work as educators, therapists, & other providers of care for tiny humans and their families… many things come up:

🌀 At its core, the work is about facilitating the CONNECTION between caregiver & child

Here’s how one professional, Miranda, an #earlychildhoodeducator and parent, licensed Learn With Less® facilitator, & owner of @the.emerging.parent (as well as the brains behind @earlyinterventionmama ) put it:

“Teaching parents to have JOY with their babies & toddlers — what could be better than helping them have that gift?!

It is always a goal of mine as a parent educator to take away worry, provide education, & infuse joy into everyday activities.”

Our infant/toddler developmental curriculum, as well as ALL the resources we create here at @learnwithless aims to do (or help YOU do!) just that.

🎁 Want access to an entire treasury of resources from us, including handbooks, trainings, & simple bite-sized ideas?

There’s only ONE more day to get access to our Learn With Less® NOW Bundle, getting 10 resources for the price of 1!

Yesterday, as my now 11-year old nugget and I were

Yesterday, as my now 11-year old nugget and I were driving down the road, we spotted a woman holding her young child near a hedge 🌱 at the edge of their apartment building’s parking lot.

She stood with the child facing the plants, smiling, as they both inspected, touched, experienced the simplicity of leaves, flower buds, and stems.

I was taken back to the memory of this photo of my now tween, standing near a similar hedge with my own mother.

@learnwithless is the product of my own experiences, knowledge, and the wisdom of my own mama.

We all have this knowledge in us: that we don’t need the fancy toys, we don’t need to buy into the sense of “MORE,” we can shut out the overwhelm…

Connecting with a young child & supporting their learning comes from

✨ Presence
✨ Everyday Routines
✨ Simple Objects

It’s easy to lose sight of all this.

It’s easy to get swept up in the kerfuffle and the madness and the overwhelm.

Here at Learn With Less® we help educators & families feel confident they can support & connect with tiny humans — without having to buy another toy.

Stand still. Find the wonder. Create magic in the mundane, everyday moments of life.

Here’s your permission, in case you needed that today.

Here at Learn With Less®, we lean into the values

Here at Learn With Less®, we lean into the values of:

⭐️ simplicity ⭐️ playfulness ⭐️ inclusivity ⭐️ education ⭐️ connection

The 4 pillars of our framework are play, talk, sing, & move

🧰 which means that these pillars are the tools we utilize to facilitate support & connection within & between families.

It all feeds into each other. Our values, our strategy, the parallel process, the ebb & flow. Nowhere on this list of tools is “specific toy x, y, or z!”

💡 Because it’s NOT the tool or toy that does the job: it’s about building & deepening the relationship between caregiver & child.

You don’t need MORE toys in your home: you already have everything you need.

A few months ago, I shared a limited time bundle for the first time, & it was wildly popular. Now, I’m bringing it back, to help you connect with young children, in all the ways that matter most.

For the next 72 hours, I’ve pulled together the Learn With Less® NOW Bundle, AND I’m going to offer at a massive discount.

In this bundle, I’m giving you 10 of my very best, most popular trainings & resources for the price of just one...

That means, you’re getting 9 resources completely FREE.

BUT… after this sale is over, these trainings will not be available as a bundle or at this price.
