For Early Childhood Educators

Technology is constantly evolving—but the developmental needs of young children remain the same.

Classrooms and care centers offer something kids can’t get from a screen (or even at home): a rich environment for play, connection, and growth. Educators have a powerful opportunity to nurture healthy development and create spaces where children truly thrive.

"We heard fantastic feedback from educators who attended her session and truly appreciated the information that she shared!" 

- Teri Applebaum, Los Angeles County Office of Education

Learning Outcomes

  • Understand the critical window of brain growth in the first 5 years and how screen time is replacing crucial activities for development.
  • Learn how the Let’s Grow Brain P.O.W.E.R. framework supports these crucial developmental needs.
  • Discover how to use the framework as a tool to educate and support families in prioritizing brain-growing activities at home.
  • Feel empowered to preserve play time and believe that THEY are the magic in this foundational stage. The relationships and connections they build with children are irreplaceable.

" I attended your ‘Screens Away’ workshop yesterday and wanted to thank you. The POWER acronym was particularly memorable for me. It struck me that it’s not only a recipe for kids’ brain growth, but also one for human happiness. I’m grateful for your time and work on the presentation. It’s going to stick with me as I teach my kindergarten class, parent my kids, and navigate my own life."
