🌟 Real Stories from Real Parents: Marie's Transformation 🌟

"Before attending Dinuka's workshop, my mornings were a frenzy. As a teacher, juggling my own preparations with my daughter's myriad requests—'get my socks,' 'help with this'—was overwhelming. I felt rushed, exhausted, frustrated and disconnected.

However, after just a 60-minute workshop with Dinuka, our home life transformed. I implemented changes that very night: giving my daughter my undivided attention and really listening to her without judgment or interruption. The results were immediate and beautiful.

The next morning, things were already calmer; she was ready before me for the first time ever, waiting with her backpack on, no rush necessary. My husband noticed how much calmer our home has become. ✨

In just a short amount of time this has taught me the power of conscious parenting. It's challenging but deeply rewarding. I’m learning to appreciate and guide my daughter's vibrant spirit without stifling her, finding that delicate balance between boundaries and freedom.

Thank you, Dinuka, for turning our hectic mornings into joyful beginnings and for making our family life not just easier, but sweeter."💖

What fun provocations to start the day!

Attention: Parents of young children (preschool to grade 1)

On this rainy day, if your kids are home, would you be interested in creating a space where they can play and be engaged, rather than have them on screens all day?

Well, we have the solution!

Rachel McBride and I created a self paced program just for that. PLAY WITH A PURPOSE!

We help parents gain extra hours in their day by creating engaging play spaces in their homes for their children.

We both come from the Early Childhood Education space and want to show you the tricks that work at preschool that can be used in YOUR home.

As Fred Rogers said, "Play IS the serious work of children".

If I could share a scent, it would be the delicious smell that families and educators walked into today. Made from scratch croissants with butter and jam for National Croissant Day.

Mom’s love Magnatiles too!!

Letting children take risks can give them the confidence they need for future challenges.

Loose parts take on many forms. For Kid Inventors Day, the children created their own granola snack.

Rest time is an important part of every Pre-School child’s day. Whether the child is sleeping or relaxing with a book, it gives them a chance to rejuvenate for an afternoon of play.

Having small areas where children can sit and talk, without interruption, gives them the opportunity to create lasting friendships and communication skills.

Sewing provocations. Children were invited to learn how to use the real sewing needles, then given the material and time to explore and create.

Christmas is fast approaching and we would want nothing more than houses being filled with toys that are age appropriate, useful, beneficial for development and more than anything ENGAGING for children.

Wouldn't you rather gift gifts that help rather than hinder.

This statement can be uncomfortable, uneasy, not productive, not efficient and darn right hard...

..if you're looking for instant gratification

BUT

..if you're looking for long term, healthy gain which involves a secure, safe, connected relationship with your children, this statement will CHANGE YOUR WORLD and your child's as well as generations to follow.

Your child will have the opportunity to become an adult who is emotionally regulated, have emotional intelligence, be conscious, be balanced, have meaningful healthy relationships and feel connected to themselves, which is all the success any human should need!

IT'S WORTH IT!

Our new 2 year olds are having the most amazing time at Kid Works. They are engaged and loving the hands-on experiences they have. They love finding their calm in our lush, full-of-life garden that keep their interest piqued.

The bunnies and tortoise have helped with any separation anxiety and the amazing teachers have been their safe space!

❤ we love the early childhood years. So much goodness, richness and presence.

Our magical garden!! Our dedicated teacher, Dana, puts so much love here and follows our children's curiosity and challenges them with explorative open-ended questions.

It truly is wonderful to see the wonder in their faces as they discover life in the garden not just with plants...

..let's keep the wonder alive with hands-on learning.

We started our Fall session last week with our new program and it has been a BLAST!

Our 2 year olds have acclimated so so well and have made themselves at home. Tears existed but not anything we couldn't handle and support with love and hugs and plenty of time to adjust.

We have a few more spots open. Hurry before we run out!

Taking applications now!! Limited spots available.

Start with a tour by calling us at 562 438 4904 or emailing [email protected].
