New podcast episode alert!

What if there was a way to keep your kids entertained, learning, and building literacy without handing them a screen?

On this week’s Early Childhood Chats, I sat down with Drew Vernon from .us to talk about the Toniebox, a screen-free audio system that my own kids are obsessed with.

We cover everything from the brain science behind audio learning to a program connecting incarcerated dads with their children through recorded stories. If you work with young children or are raising them, this one is worth your time.

New episode of Early Childhood Chats is live!

Cameras in childcare get a lot of opinions thrown at them but not a lot of informed conversation. I sat down with Kevin Wright from Watch Me Grow to talk about what these systems actually do, how parent viewing works in practice, why the average parent views for less than a minute, and how programs are using video as a coaching tool rather than a gotcha tool.

We also get into the AI side of things, including a feature that detects when a classroom does not have an adult present.

If you run a program or work in early childhood, this is a conversation worth having.
