The Early Childhood Nerd, Heather, and her friends read the research and have the best interest of children Birth to 8 (really all) at heart. The information isn’t just an opinion, it’s based is carefully researched information about best practice in the care of children during early childhood. This isn’t the podcast for those of you looking for cutesy crafts, but those who want to care for children the best way possible….pay heed to these nerds!
