About Me

The Story

Born and raised in the U.K. I call both London and Hong Kong home. 

 

For as long as I can remember, I’ve had a passion for creativity. I’ve always looked at the world around me to find inspiration.

 

When I started to teach, it was a crisp January morning in 2012. The school hall felt cold, the windows were frosted but my heart felt full. For the first time in my life, I actually felt like this is what I was born to do. I had a clear vision: I wanted to work with children. Their sense of adventure and freedom to explore simply excited my mind. Their natural curiosity, their sense of fearlessness, their boldness to be whoever they wanted to be. It's something I felt that we could all learn from. Particularly in the early years.

​

It’s been over ten years in the education field in both the U.K. and Hong Kong and since then, I have become a mama to a little girl and boy and they have taught me so much. My experiences as a mother has made me a better teacher and an even better human-being. A first-hand insight into the development of a child.

I feel truly blessed.

Sessions
Songs to sing, stories to share and learning through sensory play

Every session is filled with catchy rhymes, different themes, a story and sensory exploration. I use a variety of rhymes and stories that are repeated on a cyclical basis. Repetition is key and everyone becomes familiar with the songs, action and movement. Helping the children to feel confident in the session and encourages participation and learning.

They are designed to bring parents and carers together to make some lasting friendships . 

It's a friendly environment in a judgement free-zone. 

If you're delayed for a session - still come.

If your baby cries then do not fret.

If you don't know anyone then it's a perfect opportunity to meet other parents or carers.

So come and join me.

Rhymes, Storytelling and
Sensory Play for Toddlers

Toddlers like to move! They're either toddling or running and blink and you’ve missed the in-between!

Early Literacy involves rhymes and stories, watching mouth movements and being in tune with your child. Adult participation is key as this replaces passive watching to real understanding and enjoyment. Toddlers can benefit from movements with music to cyclical songs and stories. This may seem monotonous to us but it’s key for children!

I love reading stories and I want to share my passion with children from around the world. Books can take you anywhere and it gives me great pleasure to read stories in this way!

The stories are written by some wonderful authors and illustrators. I also want to give people a chance to have their story own read so if you’re a budding writer or your child has a story that they would like to share then please do get in touch.

 

The beauty about the podcast is that you can listen to it whenever and wherever you want! In the car, having a bath, before bedtime, eating breakfast. Simply anywhere.

FAQs

Get Informed

How long are sessions?

Sessions are 45 minutes but by no means will you or your baby/toddler be sitting for this long! Toddlers like to move and their attention span is short. It’s usually two to three minutes per year of their age! With this in mind, I have designed sessions to be upbeat and movable to prevent antsy legs.

Why is repetition important?

Repetition helps to strengthen the brain’s neural processors for learning and it teaches children to practice, master and retain knowledge. Cyclical songs and story patterns are key and delightful for babies and toddlers to hear.

Why is adult participation important?

 Passively watching versus active adult participation hones in the enjoyment, imbeds the rhymes further and extends your child's learning.

How many adults can accompany the child?

A maximum of two adults per child so that it doesn't overwhelm the child and the other children around them. 

How do I book?

Send me an e-mail on grabsomesticks@hotmail.com or send me a Whatsapp: 9439 2019 or simply fill out the submission form.
