ABOUT Me!

Hi, I am so thrilled that you are here!
 
My name is Janice and I am a juggler…no, not really, but I am a mum juggling the life that comes with having three amazing daughters, oh and my gorgeous husband too!  Then there is my other life at the circus where I entertain the children through my role as a Primary School Teacher.  I love my juggling act and I am very passionate about learning and teaching; as this is my real buzz in life which has followed me into my parenting.
 
When I became a mum, I found that my teacher brain did not switch off and I found myself creating and developing new ideas all the time.  Sometimes, a number of ideas and activities would come to me from reading a story to my kids. So I began to write my ideas down onto sticky notes or scrap books and turning them into programs as I did not want to lose them!
 
Learning 4 kids has now become my great big sticky note!  It is also a place where I can connect with other parents and share experiences and ideas.
 
Learning 4 kids focuses on the importance of learning through play.  It is about sharing ideas and activities on what I have done with my own children to encourage this play time learning. It also shares my favourite books and resources, a list of nursery rhymes and some useful printable resources, which can be used for games.
 
In creating learning 4 kids, I am also motivated by something that is very close to my heart. As a mother of 3 daughters I recognise the importance of being a positive female role model.  By actively creating learning 4 kids, I hope to demonstrate to my girls that they can fulfil their dreams and passions, no matter how many balls they are juggling in their life!
 
I hope you will find this blog useful and that it brings many happy play times to your home!
 
Wishing you many happy play times!
