Made By Educators. For Educators
Ready-to-Teach • Video-Rich • Evidence-Based • Diverse • Flexible • Customizable
Independent educators have been at the heart of InJoy since Day 1. In fact, supporting you was the inspiration for starting our business more than 35 years ago. From the beginning, independent educators helped shape our resources with empowering messages about self-advocacy, natural birth, and family-centered care—values that continue to guide us today.
As everyday changemakers, you bring knowledge, support, and confidence to families during one of life’s most important journeys. At InJoy, we honor your vital role by creating professional, engaging, ready-to-use childbirth, breastfeeding, and newborn teaching materials—so you can spend more time connecting with families and less time building materials from scratch.
Independent educators can trust InJoy’s resources because of our strong, ongoing collaborations with leading organizations. We’ve partnered with ICEA, Lamaze International, CAPPA, ILCA, and others to co-produce videos, develop training modules, and provide essential materials for certification programs. These affiliations reflect our commitment to quality and relevance—and many of these organizations actively use our materials to train their own educators! We also include independent educators in our review process to ensure our products meet the real-world needs of today’s classrooms.
Did you know? Independent educators purchasing with their own funds enjoy a 20% discount off standard pricing on many products! (Call us at 800.326.2082 for more information.)
