Toddler Play-Based Education at home

Join our 2023-2024 School Year Program

…even if you THINK you don’t have the time to do it or you’ve never created a sensory activity before

Transform your home into a learning through play home using the core principals of play-based methods such as Reggio and Montessori-Nature.

I designed, tested and created the HERE WE GROW METHOD based on teaching sensory and nature to hundreds of parents and now I want to teach you too! 

DOES THIS SOUND FAMILIAR?

  • You don’t know what to teach this year
  • You are unsure the activities you are choosing are age-appropriate to present to your child at this age
  • You are  overwhelmed by all the contradictory information out there about teaching toddlers at home
  • You question yourself if you are teaching them enough, or pushing them too much for their age
  • You  want to stop wasting time trying to figure it out alone
  • You want to avoid frustration when it comes to sitting down to teach them
  • You want some guidance, by someone that has done the research, does this every day and can troubleshoot why your child doesn’t engage in the activity at home just like the Instagram video you saw online.

If you nodded your head and said yes to any of these feelings, you are in the right place…

ABOUT OUR METHOD

With this curriculum you will learn how to use your routine, your field trips, your play-dates and even your family travel to teach through play every day.

Help your child master academic skills needed before entering Preschool through play and without spending a lot of time.

It is a simple solution for parents and caregivers to focus on what’s important while gaining an understanding of the what/why and how behind doing each activity. 

It’s like having a sensory teacher in your home helping you and guiding you each step of the way.

Your child will confidently master the skills needed.

While you find learning opportunities during your day using their natural interests.

Follow the steps of the HERE WE GROW PROGRAM each month and become a  confident parent/caregiver that understands precisely where your child is at.

Feel confident in the activities you present and bond through a play-based learning education.

Age-Appropriate LEVEL FOR LEARNING

The Right Level For Your Child

Because what a 1 year old can master is different than a 2 year old or a 3.

And because of this, we created a path for learning for the exact age group your child falls this school year.

No more 2-7 year old lesson plans! get the right activities for the right age.

Why I created HERE WE GROW

I have done the research, I have taken the training that teachers do to master PLAY in their daycares and classrooms, and I have adopted those to home environments.

I am certified in Montessori nature; I have studied the Reggio approach and combined the best learning through play pedagogy and research to create the perfect at-home learning system.

My approach to nature activities have been featured in Kid Vision for PBS KIDS!

 

As featured on PBS Kids

 

I gathered what daycares would teach for the school year to reach the learning milestones, what the CDC advises as milestones for one-year-olds, and the Florida government standards suggested for this age group.

I customize this information and adjust it for a home environment where we consider your home responsibilities and use them to create learning opportunities.

I have done these activities at home with my child, coached many families to follow this system in my one-on-one coaching, and shared it with my moms and students I teach in my sensory and nature classes.

I have done the research, got tested the activities, and seen results, and now it is your turn to create that same success at home.

 

I saw what worked and what didn’t; the result was this simple  system you can now implement at home.
