Know any two year olds?

Before I had Lucy, I had a work baby. . . it was called Central Park. THE work project of all work projects. It wasn't just my baby, it was/is a lot of people's baby but I'm terribly proud of the work I did on it and the way it was going when I left. . . one of the hardest parts of leaving this amazing job that I'd been at for almost 10 years was not being able to finish this project.

Well, now I get to see it finished! And maybe I can actually help test it! It is an at-home educational program meant for toddlers and their parents (they call it "lapware" because the parent drives the mouse while, in theory, the child sits on your lap and points at the screen). Waterford Institute has been creating top-rate educational curriculum for schools for years and has demonstrated how technology can boost even the toughest schools into competitive test scores and eliminate remediation.

If you have or know any two-year-olds, consider signing up for their beta testing. They would love your input and I am pretty sure you'll love their product. See more of the videos and examples here. . .
