Sister Company- Little Lotus Inc.

3/24/2021

0 Comments

 
Happy Wednesday everyone,

If you live in Edmonton, you have probably already heard of Little Lotus Preschool.... But if you haven't listen up because this is IMPORTANT!

Little Lotus is ANOTHER incredible kids yoga sister company that has customized their beautiful preschool program around yoga and mindfulness. I needed to get the word out there and share some of their offerings because this type of program is the future. Imagine what would happen if every child grew up and learned in a place where they could play, breathe and bloom? Surely the world would be a better place.

Little Lotus has been around since 2016 after the amazing Cynthia Stobbe crafted the program and opened the doors. Her team has worked hard to create a nurturing place for littles to just be themselves... Something we admire them greatly for. 

If you have a little between the ages of 3-6 and are looking for a new preschool to call home, I highly recommend you checking them out. The world deserves a little more yoga and a little more love. 

Here's the link to their website for more information.

Top 15 Reasons to Read to Your Child EVERYDAY

3/13/2021

Happy Spring ya'll! 

The warm weather has put me in an inspired mood and so I wanted to share with all of you some of the main reasons why reading to your child EVERYDAY is a MUST. The reasoning below was gathered by some incredibly talented children's book authors. Take a peek at our last article, Visualization & Movement: Important in Literacy & Education, to check out their offerings. 

Let's get to it:

1.  "When we read to kids, we expose them to different worlds that they haven't yet experienced." - Harriet Beth Carr, Author of A Mindful Walk

2. "Literacy helps kids engage with the world around them. It gives them the foundation to be better thinkers and it makes them more accepting to other's viewpoints." -Victoria J. Hyla, Author of Bartleby The Brave

3. "Reading builds confidence, increases vocabulary and general communication." -Melissa Martin, Author of Conversations with Cooper

4. "Literacy increases empathy and creativity." -Elyssa Nicole Trust, Author of Daisy Moves to America

5. "Reading is crucial for cognitive and social wellbeing." -Karisa Siramarco, Author of Don't Forget Your Mat

6. "It gives children a chance to think critically and for themselves." -Amanda Cottrell, Author of I Am Fearless

7. "When you read to your children it gives you time to connect with them. It's your undivided attention for that child." -Rosie Talley, Author of Linus the Troll

8. "You need literacy for everything. If you need to read a manual to make a meal or move a suitcase, you are using some form of literacy." -Amanda Syryda, Author of Mandi the Clown

9. "Literacy is beyond academic. It helps us to learn emotion and relationships. It sets you up to be a better human." -Ashley Wellman, Author of My Friend Fresno

10. "It affects how they learn and without it creates stumbling blocks that shouldn't be there." -Jacqui Shepherd

11. "Books are windows into your own soul and doors into other worlds." -Meaghan Axel, Author of the Power in Me

12.  "It helps them to get to know sight words and the core words that are crucial for school." -Liz Cavanaugh, The Strong Tree

13. "It's applications are unlimited. It gives kids insight in how to deal with situations that they've never dealt with before." -Tia Perkin, Author of Two

14. "Reading is the magic pill for everything. It is a critical foundation point." -Shanita Allen, Author of What is a Dream?

15. "Stories give you special powers." -Anna Smithers, Author of Yogi Superheroes.


There are so many AMAZING benefits to reading to your child every single day... even more than what is listed above. My suggestion... try incorporating movement or action into your storytelling. It adds a layer of fun and engagement and helps children to better retain the information they are receiving. 


Stay tuned for our NEW YouTube channel offering coming soooon. Follow us here to stay up to date on our latest videos. 


Lots of love,

Robyn
