Have you noticed an increase in the number of children starting kindergarten, who are not ready?

With the introduction of screens, and children living more sedentary lives, we are seeing more and more children sitting floppy during mat time, struggling to focus on the story book, and getting easily distracted by their peers.

  • This course will help you see children's challenges from a motor development and sensory perspective

  • After completing this course you will feel more confident to develop lesson plans for children's fine motor development, gross motor development, and play skills

  • You will enjoy an online community full of educators and teachers, who are feeling just as concerned and frustrated as you are (in a non-judgmental space)

"I am still in the middle of my learning from your online PD, and I want to thank you so much for all the information, samples of activities and videos that you have prepared. I am about to cry of happiness just watching your videos and having the materials that we can download. These are exactly the information I have been looking for to guide me as music and movement Specialist in our school. Saying that this PD is a huge help is an understatement! I am so looking forward for more PD that you'll offer."
