How to blend PLAY + WONDER + ACADEMICS
in the Early Years
The video below comes from a live webinar I shared with "Sudden Homeschool" families to support them as they navigate learning from home with young children.
Play-Based Learning At Home
Check out the Curriculum
Simple Daily Rhythms
Easy ways to strengthen literacy and numeracy.
These research-backed strategies reinforce basic academic learning, but are simple enough for beginning educators.
Hands-On Learning
Invitations to Learn using easily accessible materials {most found around the home} rooted in Constructivist learning theory and experiential learning.
Education Coaching
Families and educators receive personal support from me, through a private community. With a Master's of Education, years of teaching and consulting experience, I offer personal support in a way that's practical and accessible.
Don't take my word for it!
See all that the curriculum has to offer, and what others are saying!

"Alana is able to perfectly tie together literacy, the arts and critical thinking in such a meaningful way. Can't wait to keep learning from you."
Watch an Invitation to Learn in action
The following video is a play-based, LIVE ZOOM class I did with 4-7 year olds and their siblings, supporting families using the Artful Teaching. Joyful Learning.® curriculum.
While not at all edited or polished, the class includes:
- Morning Meeting with a morning message and a daily literacy strategy focus,
- a new rhyme to strengthen phonemic awareness and a read-aloud
- Table Time Invitation: a hands-on exploration infusing STEAM and learning across the curriculum.
- Joysheets™ {companion printables} to support and extend the learning through reflection
