Due to unforeseen circumstances, the release of Preparation for the Toddler Years curriculum was pushed back several months. On the technical side, a piece of equipment necessary to store the digital images was back- ordered for over four months. This created taping delays outside the control of GFI administration. The unit is now in place and the taping is proceeding according to a new schedule.

The second delay came as a result of an administrative decision made by Gary and Anne Marie. During the course of preparing the new Preparation for the Toddler Years curriculum, the Ezzos elected to split the series into two separate and distinct age-related programs. This decision was made in the best interest of the GFI community and for the young parents of the future who will interact with the new curriculum. The first series, The Babyhood Transitions, Parenting your 5 to 12 month old, is a two part series, designed specifically for pre-toddler parenting. We anticipate this resource to be available after March 15, 2008.

Following The Babyhood Transitions series is the long awaited Preparation for the Toddler Years. This five part series covers the specific ages of 12 to 36 months. At this time we expect this curriculum to be available on or near June 1, 2008.

We wish to note that unlike any previous curriculum produced by GFI, the two new courses have a number of highly complex, digital components and animations that support and aid the teaching process. We believe the benefits of these changes will significantly outweigh the delay in getting the new curriculum into the hands of our leaders. Please know that the team is working very diligently to meet their established goals and production deadlines. Thank you for your understanding.
