It’s never too early to start building the foundations for Reading, Writing, and Mathematics!
Did you know 90% of a child’s brain develops before they enter Kindergarten?
There’s no denying it: Early exposures to literacy and math concepts are important. In fact, they are some of the most powerful predictors of later academic success. (Duncan, 2007)
It’s no wonder our society is beginning to invest so heavily in the earliest years of education!
But sometimes it can feel like we’re asking more of our kids, younger. And that can lead to…
- pressure and frustration for us
- stress and anxiety for our children
- and those three heartbreaking words: “I hate school.”
But it doesn’t have to be that way.
There is a way to teach children these foundational skills WITHOUT making learning a chore.
Launching Learners will teach you how.
Here’s the secret:
Raising kids who thrive academically and love learning starts with US.
When grown-ups at home feel confident playfully weaving academic skills and practice into our daily lives and conversations, our children can build the foundations for success in Reading, Writing, and Mathematics WHILE developing a positive relationship with learning.
Launching Learners will teach you how to build academic skills in a way that is:
Joyful & Purposeful
Because kids naturally LOVE learning and discovering the way the world works. When we tap into that, we prevent power struggles and negative attitudes towards learning.
Pressure-Free
Because kids learn best when they feel safe to take risks and make mistakes.
Developmentally Appropriate
Because when we meet our kids where they are, we can help them develop the foundations needed to progress.
YOU can shape your child’s attitude about learning. I’m here to help.
