Today's interview is with Meghan Conway from HomeBloom Education (@homebloom.ed on Instagram)

​

Meghan is a former kindergarten teacher and now stay-at-home-mom to three daughters.

After she left the classroom, Meghan felt compelled to bridge the gap between home and school by working with parents and offering tutoring services for early elementary students.

She is passionate about supporting preschoolers with their transition to the big world of kindergarten.

Listen in on my conversation with Meghan as she shares tips on:

❤️ Transitioning from preschool (or no school) to kindergarten

💙 How she prepared her daughter for kindergarten (and the minimum skills she wanted her daughter to have before the first day)

🧡 How to handle resistance with young learners (even Meghan has faced that working with her own daughter at home)

Today's interview is with Maria Golden from Growing in Literacy (@growinginliteracy on Instagram)

Maria is an educator, reading specialist, and mother of three young children.

After years of teaching young readers and writers, she noticed a strong need for developing early literacy skills during the early childhood years.

While shuffling between diaper changes, naps, and play dates, she built a small business called Growing in Literacy, where she educates and empowers parents of young children in the development of early reading and writing skills.

Instead of using traditional worksheets and flashcards, Maria focuses on learning these skills through a play-based learning approach while also educating parents about the importance of early literacy skills.

Listen in on my conversation with Maria as she shares:

💜 Her journey in education and how she found her passion for early literacy skills

💙 Why play-based learning is the most effective way to teach little ones the foundational skills they need for success

🧡 How she supports parents who want to teach their children through play-based methods
