Frequently Asked Questions about Plumtree Baby

Products

We offer educational resources and teaching tools for topics from early pregnancy all the way through the postpartum period. Developed by educators in collaboration with health care providers (learn more about our team here), our resources have been used to educate families for over ten years. Supporting research and references for our materials can be viewed our References page.

We have booklets and handouts for distribution to clients. We also have evidence-based Teaching Curriculums, PowerPoint Courses and Posters.

Anyone can purchase our resources. Our customers include childbirth educators, doulas, clinicians, birth centers, hospitals, health departments, WIC clinics and more.

Plumtree Baby products are the most updated and comprehensive perinatal education products available. Created by educators, our products are affordable, user-friendly, and consistently receive five-star ratings.

Rather than take a “one-size-fits-all” approach, we recognize that expectant parents benefit from learning the advantages and drawbacks of many different choices in order to make the best decisions for their birth. We call this approach "Thoughtful Decisions" and incorporate this theme throughout our products.

Many training programs leave new educators on their own to develop their own course and materials. Our Starter Packages eliminate the hassle of starting from scratch by providing every resource a new educator needs.

The packages include:

- Teaching Curriculum (digital or print/digital)

- 10 copies of the parent workbooks

- Corresponding PowerPoint slides (standard or custom branded)

Copyright: All of our products are copyrighted and can not be copied or reproduced. The only exception can be found in our Curriculums where specific pages have been marked with permission to copy for non-commercial use. This allows you to copy select pages for use by your clients only.

Licensing: Our digital resources come with a standard license which is valid for one location or facility for up to five users. A "user" is defined as an educator, instructor or birth professional who provides instruction to multiple clients.

For larger businesses with multiple locations and/or more than five educators, contact us for a quote.

PowerPoint licenses: The PowerPoint license permits the use of the slides for live in-person or online classes/webinars only. The license allows you to customize the presentation by hiding, rearranging or adding additional slides (using our blank slide template).

Our resources may not be shared outside of your organization or business and digital distribution to clients or patients is not permitted.

We are happy to discuss licensing or assist you in choosing the resources that work best for your clients. Contact us!

All of our posters are laminated.

Large posters are 18x24" and DO NOT fit in the Display.

The Desktop Poster Display holds up to 40 small size posters (11x17"). The display can be purchased by itself and you can add your own posters or it is available with poster sets. Displays with small posters are the perfect resource for small groups, home visits or to display in exam and birthing rooms.
