Our Mission

Our mission is to empower adults—teachers, caregivers, and parents—to create nurturing, inclusive environments where social-emotional learning (SEL) is embedded in everyday routines.

Who We Are

NLM Consultation was founded with a simple vision: to support educators, families, and leaders in creating inclusive, nurturing, and developmentally appropriate learning environments for young children. Drawing on years of experience as an early childhood educator, coach, and consultant, we bring both expertise and empathy to every partnership.

What We Do

We specialize in infant and early childhood consultation that fosters inclusion, empathy, and strong relationships between adults and children. Through high quality resources, research-based strategies, professional development, and practical tools, we help teachers and administrators:

• Strengthen classroom management and social-emotional learning (SEL) practices

• Build inclusive strategies that honor all children and families

• Reduce challenging behaviors by promoting consistency and connection

• Create sustainable action plans that make teaching less stressful and more joyful

Our Approach

We believe meaningful change comes from collaboration. Our consultation is grounded in research-based practices and always tailored to your unique context. Consistent support helps educators not only improve classroom practices but also deepen relationships with children and families.

Why It Matters

Every child deserves a strong start. By equipping educators and programs with the tools to meet fidelity and embed inclusive practices, NLM Consultation helps ensure that classrooms are not only places of learning—but also places where children feel seen, safe, and valued.

Our Commitment

We are committed to:

• Inclusion: Affirming diverse identities, families, and experiences

• Practical Solutions: Tools you can use right away, not just theory

• Partnership: Working alongside you, not telling you what to do

• Sustainability: Building practices that last beyond a single training
