Join us in the celebration today and let us know how you are being musical today!

Five Easy Ways Music Can Support a Child’s Development We all know that children love music.

✨Celebrating 8 Years of ChildrenFlow! ✨

Today marks 8 years since the start of ChildrenFlow, a journey that began with a vision to uplift early childhood education and support educators in fostering thriving learning environments. What started as an idea has grown into a meaningful mission, reaching teachers, coaches, and administrators dedicated to making a difference for young learners.

And, in another exciting milestone… I just published my first children's book!
Writing stories for young readers has been a dream of mine, and I’m thrilled to share it with the world.

I'm deeply grateful to our incredible team, partners, and clients who have been part of this journey. Your trust, collaboration, and commitment to quality education have made this possible. Here's to many more years of impact, growth, and FLOW!

Language and literacy knowledge in preschool can predict future school success for a child. Participating in reading and storytelling can promote this development.

Well, today is National Tell a Fairy Tale Day!

Children love hearing and participating in fantasy! So, this is your chance to dust off some of those favorite fairy tales and start sharing them with a child.

Remember these strategies as you tell the story:
* find a way to engage the child - give them a role to participate
* give your characters a voice
*ask questions as you go to gauge listening and understanding
* let children tell their stories, too

Have a happily ever after day from ChildrenFlow!

At ChildrenFlow we believe that hands-on experiences support the learning of new concepts. This concept applies to children and adults. That's why we provide professional development experiences that are engaging, interactive, and fun for all participants!

Let's Reflect!

As we approach the end of February, it's time for us to reflect on our New Year's Resolutions:
How is it going?
What challenges have you faced?

At ChildrenFlow, we set goals each year and plan out small tasks that help us take manageable steps toward reaching our goals.

If we get stuck or approach a hurdle to complete our tasks, we reflect on what we need to do differently.

Be nice to yourself and keep making progress!
You got this!

Happy New Year from your friends at ChildrenFlow! 🤩🚗✈️
Our team has been on the go this holiday season, and made a pre-holiday stop at the Cardinal McCloskey Community Charter School in The Bronx, New York, where Liz Beltran discussed "Positive Interactions" w/a focus on Active Supervision.

Participants deepened their knowledge in positive teacher-child interactions, creating and sustaining effective learning environments, and how these objectives support active supervision. Participants were able to develop an individualized action plan to implement the knowledge gained.
