A Place of Our Own, hosted by Debi Gutierrez, is a fun, informative series designed for parents, grandparents, childcare providers, nannies, friends, neighbors – anyone who takes care of young children.

Each program combines discussion and advice from experts in child development and people who care for children; field pieces shot in preschools, homes and playgrounds; and an activity segment demonstrating something you can do at home with your kids. A Place of Our Own will help equip you with the tools and knowledge you need to enrich your child’s life.

We all want our children to be ready for kindergarten. In this DVD compilation, we’ve assembled five of our most-requested episodes about early academics: “Print-Rich Environment,” “Encouraging Kids to Want to Write,” “Discovering Science,” “Social Studies,” and “Math Activities.”
