Maybe you’re a new parent or caregiver yourself, looking for extra income & a way to share your professional knowledge as an educator or therapist...

Maybe you’re dipping your foot in the water and starting your own thing (private practice, your own small business)...

Or maybe you’re looking to expand, grow, and diversify your current offerings within an existing practice or business...

If you have a professional/educational background in a field related to early child development AND you're curious about finding new ways to use your existing knowledge to serve families holistically, this is a great event for you.

At this time, we can provide up to 4 Certified Maintenance Hours (CMH's) to speech-language pathologists. Please get in touch at admin@strengthinwords.com for more information!

Hello! I'm Ayelet Marinovich, the founder of Learn With Less®. I'm a pediatric speech-language pathologist, parent educator, an imperfect mom of 2 young children, a bestselling author, acclaimed podcast host, & business owner.

I'll be your host on January 15, & I'll be joined by several guest speakers - other educators and developmental therapists who have started to "think outside the box" when it comes to creating lasting impact on our communities - as well as our own pocketbooks.

No, we know life happens and you may have other plans! Live attendees will have a chance to ask questions and be part of the interactive discussions.

We'd love for you to prioritize this event (it's a retreat for a reason - we're helping each other set a vision and intention!) because we believe strongly in the power and value of community.

Here at Learn With Less®, we are a values-based company. To us, that means that we prioritize and make decisions based on the values we hold. We hope that learning more about these values (and how they show up in our company) will give you a good sense of what to expect!

COMMUNITY: communal learning (facilitation vs hierarchical learning) – we value the idea of learning together and alongside one another; communal Support (we’re here for each other, even when we don’t have the same professional backgrounds, hold the same social identities, or parent in “the same” way)

PLAYFULNESS: we define playfulness in terms of exploration, musicality, love: play with your baby, play with your style, play with materials, play in a group with others, play with me!

EDUCATION: the power of knowledge and shared learning: once you know that what you’re doing is supportive of a young child, you’re motivated to keep doing it! You'll be participating in the educational information we'll be sharing at our retreat - but also co-creating it, at times!

INCLUSIVITY: we value respect and acceptance of diverse thought and practice; we want to help our audience with access (you don’t have to have oodles of supplies to support families or your baby, we provide access to information through our podcast, books, and programs); we honor, create and uphold space for those holding a diversity of social identities

SIMPLICITY: as professionals, we know that everyday materials & routines hold the utmost developmental value. We always encourage you to use what you already have – you don’t have to go buying MORE stuff, and to remember: you already have everything you need! Play and interaction do not require expensive toys or even large amounts of time
