The New Portage Guide materials maintain features of the original Portage Guide, which is translated into over 30 languages and utilized around the world. The New Portage Guide continues to be designed in a format that is easy for teachers and parents to use. It also offers important new aspects including information for caregivers about child development. Most importantly, these materials reflect our core values and incorporate the most current research on early learning that is built on relationships and interactions with caregivers.
