This blog has a few key contributors that focus on the early development and care of young children.

Tom Lottman is the Deputy Director of Children, Inc. as well as the Director of Research and Education for Growing Sound. He posts on recent child development research to bridge the gap between research and practice. It is our hope that we can bring what scientists are learning in labs and put it to use in homes and classrooms for the betterment of children.

Sharon Boh is currently working as a Montessori teacher in a Children, Inc classroom in Northern Kentucky. Sharon has the privilege of working with children every day to truly put research into practice. She will provide us with some insights about children in the classroom as well how to utilize some research findings into a preschool education.

David Kisor is our resident musical magic man. David is an accomplished composer, performer, and teacher who lives and works in Northern Kentucky. He is the Creative Director for Growing Sound and works in collaboration with Tom Lottman to develop high quality musical products based in early child development research. Over the past twenty years he has written extensively for the classroom and the stage, including works for The Ensemble Theater of Cincinnati, The Children’s Theater of Cincinnati, The University of Cincinnati Preparatory Department and dozens of school residencies from preschool to high school. David continues to wow us with his talents and creativity and entertain children on a day to day basis at concerts and in the classroom.

Jordan Huizenga is our primary Children, Inc. organizational contributor who works in the main office on this and other opportunities to inform our families and the public about high quality child care and the importance of the early years for children.
