workshops & Classes

The Messy Time Class is geared towards children aged 0-4 and their favorite adult to enjoy. Messy play is the open-ended exploration of materials and their properties. It allows children to use their natural curiosity and engage their senses at the developmental level appropriate for them. They learn foundational cognitive principles as they exercise motor, language, and social skills.

The more you can include music in the life of your child, the better. It’s fun, it gives children an opportunity to move and dance around, even sing… or shout. A cooperative playgroup is a collaboration of teachers and parents who take an active interest in their children's first educational experience. This class is intended for children aged 0-4 years old.

There is no right age to begin learning the trades of the kitchen. I work with primary grades to offer hands-on food preparations while teaching fine motor skills, eye-hand coordination, and even math and science concepts.  My classes are designed for settings where children from the ages of 3 to 10 can engage in fun and interactive recipes while learning about the foods they consume and how to make healthier choices.  During each session, children will make fun and creative recipes while learning about organization skills, nutrition, and kitchen safety!

I am passionate about encouraging children (PreK-Grade 5) to playfully investigate the creative process. I aim to inspire even the most reluctant readers, writers and storymakers to give it a whirl and be brave.  Making a story can feel intimidating at first, but I'll teach your students how to unlock their inner Storymaker and strengthen their storytelling and writing muscles. As students begin to find their voice, they'll discover that their VOICE can actually change the world.  

Join us in exploring the transformative power of StoryMaking, where children become makers, storytellers, artists, and writers all in one creative experience. In a time when early learning environments often prioritize academic demands over play, this approach places imaginative play with materials at the heart of children's daily experiences, enabling them to envision, create, and share the stories of their lives.

In this engaging presentation, you will learn how to foster a StoryMaking culture in your classroom through inquiry-based learning. We’ll cover key topics such as creating an inviting environment for creativity, strategies to help children communicate their learning, effective documentation, and much more. Together, let's ignite the joy of storytelling and empower our children to thrive as creators. 

Embrace the magic of StoryMaking and let your classroom become a vibrant space for creativity and expression!
