Ignite Learning Together

Heading out for NAEYC today! Emily Nauth, from is presenting with me and we will be sharing about the mentoring program we developed at their childcare. Our session is on Friday, but there will be a total of 4 sessions this year! Who will we see there?

Wildflowers, crispy blue skies, crunchy hikes and cozy nights.

Embracing each season.

What awakens your soul?

Seeing posts has me reflecting on the bittersweet feelings of sending my baby off to her last year of college. It’s a mix of emotions – knowing visits will be fewer, the house will be quieter, and our relationship has evolved. I’ve learned to give her space, but old habits die hard. A friend once said, “It’s not empty nesting, it’s bird launching.” That resonates. We’re launching our baby bird into the world, and it feels different this time. Sending lots of love and well wishes to all the families out there launching those little birds, doing their thing, strengthening their wings so they can fly! 🦅

Hey there! It’s been a while since I’ve checked in over here and I noticed there are a few new friends hanging out so I thought I’d take a minute to say “Hi!” I’m Jenny Spencer, Conscious Discipline Certified Instructor from Indiana. This is just one way I get to spend my days! I travel all over the map helping educators and parents gain new insight and practices around behavior (not just kids, but their own too!). Our main focus here is practicing new skills and learning how to self regulate so we can teach those skills to children. In addition to , I am also very passionate about helping early care providers better understand the development of young children, their need for play, and how to align teaching practices with what is best for children. So you’ll see a variety of things here and I plan to be more intentional about posting so we can learn and grow together! Drop me an emoji in the comments and say “Hi!” It’s been a while and I’m so glad you’re here! 🥰
