What Providers And Parents Say

FOREVER GRATEFUL

Thank you all for the strengths-based and engaging approach to this training. Your attention to cultural relevancy, articulation of striving to be anti-racist, and providing context for videos that could be perceived as culturally insensitive, was particularly important for this all BIPOC group. I will be forever grateful for this training.

A HUGE DIFFERENCE

PFR has made a huge difference for my families. It has made our relationship (provider and parent) stronger and better.

I GET IT NOW!

PFR helped me to understand my son’s cues and needs. I get it now! I get him! It helped me to step back, take a breath, evaluate the situation, and understand the situation. Why is he acting this way? Is he scared? Is he stressed? Does he need me?

Parent

THE KEY TO EVERYTHING

PFR has given me a way to link the science of what children need to the art of parenting. I see this as the key to everything I have wanted to do in my career in early childhood education.
Educator

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

I would highly recommend this training to anyone! Oh! what a gift it was. Since the PFR Training, the lessons and knowledge I have gained from it, it has now become a way of life/ communication for me all the time. Thank you so much.
