Testimonials
❝
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.

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.
