About Me — Ms. Vanessa
Early Childhood Educator & Early Learning Advocate
Hi, I’m Ms. Vanessa, the heart behind Early Learning Made Easy. I believe early learning should feel joyful, meaningful, and doable for every family — not overwhelming or complicated. I’m a CDA-certified Early Childhood Educator with 15+ years supporting children from infancy through early elementary across preschool and early learning programs, public school classrooms (general + special education), Head Start, school-age programs and summer camps, and home child care.
My philosophy: Connection before correction. Relationship before readiness. Children learn best when they feel safe, seen, and deeply connected to a caring adult.
What I Do
- Design evidence-informed lesson plans and playful learning for preschoolers
- Support diverse learners, including neurodivergent students and those receiving special education services
- Facilitate hands-on learning: science, art, nature exploration, literacy, and play-based math
- Coach families on routines, behavior, and developmental milestones with practical strategies
- Conduct observations, developmental assessments, and share growth goals in family-friendly language
- Collaborate with multidisciplinary teams (e.g., speech and occupational therapy)
Training & Credentials
- Child Development Associate (CDA) — Birth to Five
- Certified Trauma-Informed Practitioner (Education focus)
- SEL Specialization (University of Colorado — Boulder)
- ADHD: Everyday Strategies for Elementary Students (SUNY)
- CPR / First Aid / SIDS / Mandated Reporter certified
- Coursework in trauma-informed practice and positive psychology (Seligman / PERMA)
Why I Created Early Learning Made Easy
So many families want to help their child learn — they just don’t always know how. I translate early childhood research into real-life play, support caregivers with simple daily routines, and create printable resources you can use at home or school. Everything here is grounded in developmentally appropriate, play-based learning, positive psychology, and trauma-informed practice.
