Together, we'll explore the alphabet soup of literacy: from fundamental phonics to constructing clear, concise sentences. We understand the hustle of parenting, so we've designed bite-sized lessons that fit into even the most jam-packed schedules.
Imagine the pride on your face when your child asks for help with a tricky word, and you've got it covered! We don't just stop at reading; we'll arm you with practical writing techniques for those parent-teacher notes or even jotting down your family's favorite recipes. By the end of this journey, you won't just be their superhero — you'll be their reading and writing sidekick, paving the way for a future full of possibilities, for both you and your kids. Strap in, because it's going to be one rewarding ride!
What you will learn
I began this journey with the knowledge that as a parent, you're not just a caretaker but a role model, especially when it comes to learning. That's why we've carefully designed a warm and welcoming learning environment to help you build your reading and writing skills in tandem with your little one's developmental stages. Think of it as your secret toolkit; not only will you gain invaluable literacy skills, but you'll learn how to create a nurturing learning atmosphere at home. We've meticulously organized our lessons to ensure that they're not only helpful but also easy to follow, allowing you to progress at a comfortable pace. Plus, you'll be surrounded by other parents just like you, creating a support network that understands the joys and challenges of raising young learners. Trust me, you'll soon find that boosting your own literacy skills will not only enrich your life but also provide a shining example for your children to follow.
Curriculum
Hi There!
Dr. Cynthia McInnis, M.Ed
Education forms the backbone of my vocational journey, which is deeply rooted in a commitment to nurturing the intellectual and emotional growth of both children and adults. With a Master of Education in Leadership in Early Childhood Education, combined with a Bachelor of Science in Communication and Culture, I have developed a robust understanding of educational frameworks that resonate with diverse audiences. My specialized certifications and honors, including the Pennsylvania Department of Education Teacher Certification in Early Childhood Education and an Honorary Doctor of Divinity, further signify my dedication to lifelong learning and broad expertise.
Over the years, I have crafted and implemented educational programs that span from grassroots initiatives in adult literacy to progressive early childhood curriculums. This hands-on experience underpins my focus on creating supportive learning environments where parents can thrive alongside their children, understanding that education is a shared journey. My directorship at Little Archie’s Clubhouse Daycare Center and my role as a self-employed educator, since 1998, have allowed me to directly apply these values in real-world settings. As your instructor, I bring a passion for knowledge, a deep connection to community empowerment, and a genuine enthusiasm for supporting every learner in unlocking their potential.
