Wonderful experience. I will definitely be buying more products in the future.
I purchased the childbirth education curriculum, PowerPoint and new posters. All of it is beautifully illustrated, the information is accurate and organized in a concise manner. I'm thrilled. Thank you! My classes just reached next level.
We have not had an opportunity to dive right into the curriculum just yet, will be doing that later this month. So far, communication has been great between ourselves and Plum Tree and the products are beautiful!
The CBE Instruction Guide book is very professional and attractive.
I love it! It is very wasy to use and incorporate into whatever you are using.
Very pleased with all my interactions with this company, the speed of receiving my books, and the quality of the product!
Love this curriculum! It is up to date and very through. I can pick and choose what to include for each couple or class. It is much more interactive than other childbirth classes I've taught.
I love the format and to use it before i go and teach couples i support. The way it is structured makes it easy to plan and use
It's laid out very well, user friendly. It is definitely a basic curriculum but we really wanted something we could easily build on. I really enjoyed this and we'll likely buy from this company again.
