The hands on experience of making a book was very much in keeping with the Montessori philosophy of "learning through doing". It brought out the creativity in the adults.

They [the games] are well thought out and high in educational value.

[This workshop]...really helped to increase my awareness to care and helping our children. We all need this encouragement. I gained information and it made me take another look within myself and to evaluate my life, me and how I look at things.

- Various Past Workshop Participants

Valerie Scott Price is an excellent presenter. She is knowledgeable and has years of practice from which to draw factual information. Our team is well balanced because of her classroom experience. She has made many of the games and activities that are used in our presentations. This realism brings a sensibility to our presentations. I thoroughly enjoy presenting with her.

"I liked that the training session reinforced what my Pre-K classroom is all about."
"I liked learning specifics about what I can expect my kids to know before kindergarten and what they will learn in kindergarten."
"Too short. She was great."

- Other Comments from evaluations

I have organized two classes through the GET UP Project for the parents at my childcare facility. Several of my staff have also attended these classes. The feedback I have received has been very positive. Attendees have left feeling well informed, educated and more prepared to handle day to day issues involving their children or the children they teach. Many have said they wished the class was longer and have asked when are we having another class. I appreciate the time and effort Valerie puts into her presentations.

- Holly Johnson of Riverside Child Development and Learning Center

Valerie is a very dedicated and competent educator. She is also a very caring and compassionate person. I have had the benefit of knowing her and her family up close for the past five years. She is focused and committed to whatever she sets out to do. She is admired and respected by all who know her. She is also very committed to her family and in addition to all that she does professionally she cares for her family.
