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 created the Learn With Less® Family Enrichment Fundamentals Workshop, and will be your host, joined by several guest speakers - other educators and developmental therapists who have utilized the Learn With Less® framework and curriculum within their own practices (and when applicable, in their own families).

Here at Learn With Less®, we are a relationship and 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
