"My entire team of SLPs were incredibly impressed by the thoughtful work Ayelet put into each [lesson of the] Learn with Less® Curriculum. She couples in-depth, very age specific research with a fun framework for children to absorb language."
- Gina Pascual, MSW, Senior Program Design Associate, The Primary School
"I had done a lot of research over the past few years on different types of parent and me classes. This program really incorporates all the approaches that speak to me, without being 'a parenting philosophy.'
I'm not strict on any approach, it's what works for their child, for my child. But when it comes to the interactions you have, you really don't need any stuff, it's about the quality of your interactions. That's why this program really spoke to me."
- Lesley Mayson, M.A., Learn With Less® Licensed Facilitator, Little Chickadees Nurturing Center
"Learn With Less® harnesses the power of play, music, movement, and language, and uses what you have to empower families' confidence in their ability to connect with their children."

“This is a really interesting time to shift into new professional endeavors, and I'm starting to engage with my community in a different way than before.
I’m becoming more connected with local establishments (businesses, grant funding opportunities, organizing spaces to meet), flexing new muscles for professional development and networking, and I have the Learn With Less Facilitator Community to grow with! "
- Allie Glazer, M.S., CCC-SLP, Pediatric Speech-Language Pathologist, Licensed Learn With Less® Facilitator
"Working as an infant/toddler teacher in center-based classrooms for over 10 years has been both rewarding and inhumanizing at the same time. I know my worth and the value of my work.
Being able to take my years of education and experience in another direction is life changing.
I can take my child development knowledge beyond the classroom and be confident about it!”
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for helping me reach another level in my career. <3"

“I like the guidance of the program: it’s evidence-based, you have everything laid out… it’s like, let’s go! Let’s do it! I just wanted something that works, that I can offer to my families that is of value.
I fundamentally feel parents need to be supported at home. As a parent, you just want to feel like you’re doing something right, & you don’t want to be inundated with a bunch of stuff. This program really spoke to me because I can establish myself as a resource for them.""
