Equipping families with knowledge, tools, and support on a legendary journey.
Strengthening parental and caregiver confidence through workshops, resources, and personalized guidance that help families create nurturing connections for language and literacy growth.
Workshops
My parent and caregiver workshops aren't lectures—they're interactive, practical experiences that change how you see your role in your child's learning. You'll leave with concrete strategies for building literacy during daily routines, a deeper understanding of how your child's brain develops from ages 0-7, and activities you can start using immediately. More importantly, you'll gain confidence that you're giving your child a strong foundation and connection with other parents on the same journey.
Popular workshop topics include Everyday Literacy: Turning Routines into Learning Moments, The Science of Early Brain Development (and Why It Matters), Building Language Through Play and Conversation, Screen Time Realities: Navigating Media in the Early Years, and Kindergarten Readiness: What Really Matters. Workshops are available for in-person and virtual sessions, with custom topics available based on your community's needs.
Parenting Power-Up Partnerships
Sometimes you need more than a workshop—you need someone in your corner who understands your specific challenges and goals. Parenting Power-Up Partnerships offer personalized support for your family's unique journey through one-on-one or small group coaching sessions. Together we'll develop customized strategies for your child's developmental stage and tackle specific challenges like speech delays, school transitions, or behavioral concerns. You'll receive ongoing accountability and encouragement as you implement new approaches, along with continued access to resources and check-ins.
This isn't about perfect parenting—it's about empowered parenting. Let's work together to build confidence and your child's foundation.
