Lori
Moritmer is the mother of two children who have attended
Little
Sprouts Child Enrichment Centers since they were infants.
She has a Master's degree in English from Montclair State
University and eleven years of experience in the training
industry as a writer, instructional designer, and project
manager. She has also written freelance articles about online
course development for Learning Circuits, the webzine of the
American Society for Training and Development (ASTD). In an
effort to strike a better work-life balance, Lori recently
left the corporate workforce and returned to teaching part-time
at a local university. On the side, she dabbles in writing
and weblog design. She also loves the outdoors, but only in
the warm weather. Once the mercury drops below 50 degrees,
you'll find Lori bundled up inside somewhere, preferably with
a warm child on her lap and a good book in her hand (or possibly
the TiVo remote). She lives in Methuen, MA with her husband,
kids, Chewy the Boston Terrier, Digger the gerbil, and a large
litter of dust bunnies.

| Dr. Rene Thomas is the co-founder and owner
of the New Hope Center and Kids Need Us Now. She is an acclaimed
researcher, author and clinician, and believes that too many
children are unnecessarily medicated. Her work shows that a
proper diet can help reduce issues of obesity and behavioral
problems. She has performed extensive research over the past
three decades focusing on children with Attention Deficit Disorder
and Dyslexia. She is the Executive Director of the New Hope
Center in Lawrence, MA and is dedicated to helping children
improve their performance in school and lead healthy and happy
lives.
She is fascinated by how children learn. She has authored
over 70 books including ones for parents and children. She
is working on a documentary of 7 children with major physical
and emotional challenges, and after 12 weeks on her program
they experienced major changes. “We can give kids books,
teach them to read and encourage them, but if there are physical
problems, we’ll just scratch our heads and wonder where
we went wrong”, says Dr. Rene.
