Parenting Connections Ep. 06 w/ Joan Means Parenting Connections

This episode focuses on how parents navigate choosing the right program for their child, do they choose Montessori, Reggio, Waldorf, Play-based, a Co-op, and so forth. This is the time of year that parents usually begin looking for preschools for the upcoming school year. We wanted to share some insight on what to look for when choosing a program and the importance of early childhood education. Here to help us explore different programs and what to look for is a veteran Early Childhood Educator, Joan Means.
