Testimonials from past participants and clients:

“Ana's capacity to connect with her audience by providing relevant and relatable examples from educators' experiences, while consistently linking her insights back to the early learning framework and supporting her presentation with scientific data, was highly appreciated by all. Thank you for sharing!”

Kootaney-Columbia CCRR (Past Client)

Ana was very welcoming and presented her material in a manner that easy to digest. It can be easy to get defensive when confronted about our biases/prejudices; however Ana's acknowledgment that we ALL have biases created an environment that was conducive to
learning and dialogue.

Manitoba Child Care Association (Workshop Participant)

Today staff from several of Options Community Services early years programs spent the afternoon with Ana Valle Rivera who facilitated for us around the newly revised BC Early Learning Framework. Thank you Ana for giving us tools to think about the purpose of education, and to see how using language from the revised framework as opportunities to plant gentle seeds of these new ideas to the educators we provide services to.
