Class Experience

Does your learner love to talk about things they are passionate about? This may be the class for them! 

In this class, learners have the opportunity to become the teacher. Weekly themes will be provided (see below), and learners are invited to present what they know about the subject and engage with their peers. Learners are expected to come prepared with some knowledge about the topic, and are welcome to use props (toys, pictures, books, etc) to help them present. 
Each learner will have approximately 5 minutes to present, followed by time for questions from teacher and classmates. 

Learners have full creative freedom over how they present and what the talk about, as long as it is related to the theme. 
For example, for a theme about shapes - Learners can create shapes out of paper, and teach the shapes to the group. They could also bring toys that have the shapes the are talking about (stackable rings for circles, lego bricks for rectangular prisms). 
Presentations are not expected to be formal, simply an opportunity for learners to share their knowledge in any form they are comfortable with. 

Learners are encouraged to ask questions following their peer presentation. 

Guardians or learners are welcome to send teacher a message in advance of class for help with presentation ideas. 

In classes of low enrollment, engagement games will be facilitated by the teacher after learner presentations.

*Mute will be used ensure presenter has uninterrupted experience. Learners can all unmute for Questions & Answers. 

*For the safety and privacy of learners, video recordings of classes with more than 1 student will not be shared with learners or parents.*

Teacher expertise and credentials
Hello parents/guardians and learners! 
Ms. Jen here! 
I have a Bachelor of Social Work and a Bachelor of Arts (Sociology and Family Studies). I have experience working with children with advanced medical and social needs, the local public school board, and as a manager and child care provider of a child care centre. I'm also a mama to 2 wonderful young kiddos! 

My classes incorporate social and early learning into a fun, safe environment for your children to learn and practice important skills while meeting peers and having fun! It is a passion (and expertise) of mine to teach skills that support child development, such as emotions, feelings, expressions and self-care.  

I look forward to getting to know you and your child. If you have any questions about my classes, please reach out! I'm happy to answer any inquires to support your decision on choosing the best classes for your learner!
