Gigi Schweikert has a straightforward way of making us look honestly at ourselves as early childhood professionals. She says it like it is and challenges us to see even the things we hoped no one would notice. The Winning Ways series compels us to examine the profound impact we have on everyone around us—children, certainly, as well as fellow professionals and the children's parents and families. Everything matters. Everything. But the best thing is that Gigi believes in each of us, that we can change, that we can truly become the early childhood professionals the children need us to be. And that really matters.

Gigi Schweikert has entertained and educated my program's teachers at in-service presentations, and now her wisdom and sense of humor is made available to a wide audience in the Winning Ways series.

The Winning Ways series is full of useful tools and handy hints for people new to the early learning field.
