"I learned more about the children's personalities and character than just what they could do academically."

"Awareness of specific milestones made me understand patterns of children's behavior better."

"I know my children developmentally better. Now I'm looking at each child as we do an activity.

"[I now have] more knowledge of "normal" development; and age appropriate activities."

"For Special Needs children, the Focused Portfolios™ process shifted the focus from what children could not do to what they are able to do."

"I know my children better because I observe it, take a picture of it, write it down. Then, the pictures come back, and I revisit it again. So, how many times have I looked at the same situation? That's why I know so much."
