Little Choices Education brings the practical, low-stimulation approach behind Little Choices resources into professional education, caregiver education, workshops, and implementation-focused learning. Programs help adults think more intentionally about routines, transitions, communication, regulation, sensory needs, and visual supports by focusing on a central question:

What does the child need in order to better understand and participate in what is happening?

Little Choices Education is designed for early-childhood professionals, educators, family-support professionals, caregivers, and organizations serving young children and families.

Featured Program

Ready Routines: School Readiness & Daily Independence

Practical Routine and Transition Support for Young Children

• Ready Routines is a practical implementation framework that helps adults make everyday routines and transitions easier for young children to understand and participate in.

• Participants learn how to identify one specific friction point, determine what information the child needs, choose the simplest visual support that fits that need, and use the support consistently.

The goal is not to add more materials. It is to make one routine clearer and more usable.

Who Ready Routines Is For

• Childcare and early-learning staff

• Preschool and school-readiness programs

• Early-intervention and family-support professionals

• Professionals supporting young children with routines and transitions

• Libraries and community organizations offering early-childhood programming

What Participants Learn

• How to identify the specific friction point within a routine or transition

• How to determine what information the child actually needs

• How to choose between a routine chart, First-Then board, transition support, or individual visual cue

• How to use the simplest visual that provides enough information

• How to pair the visual with short, consistent adult language

• How to introduce and use the selected support consistently

• What to observe after implementation

• How to decide whether to keep, adjust, or simplify the support

The Ready Routines Implementation Sequence

1. Identify the Friction Point

What exactly is hard?

Define the specific point within the routine or transition that is creating difficulty rather than treating the entire routine as the problem.

2. Choose the Visual System

What information would help?

Determine what the child needs to understand and select the simplest visual support capable of providing that information.

3. Implement Consistently

How will the support be used?

Introduce the selected support clearly, pair it with consistent adult language, and use it predictably enough to evaluate whether it is helping.

Core Principle

Use the simplest visual that solves the problem.

Important Scope
