Description

Preschoolers can be a handful: wild, creative, emotional, and ever-so messy! They bring in so much life and light into our lives, but SO MUCH CHAOS. Best described, parenting a toddler can feel like herding cats. Up one minute, down the next, and every so busy.

Did you know that 90% of the brain growth of your child happens before 5 years old?! Parenting with purpose, armed with the correct knowledge can set your child up for a lifetime of success cognitively, emotionally, and socially. We’re here to give you insight into this challenging age and provide you some evidence -based strategies to connect to your child, while also re-directing challenging behaviours.  We will also guide you in how to foster whole-brain development to set your little one up for success.

Our Co-Founder, Tammy Schamuhn, Registered Psychologist,  Registered Play Therapist, and mother of three, will take you on an educational journey where you will feel supported in setting a foundation of success for your child.  All strategies and information provided is  informed by neuroscience, developmental psychology, and practical for parenting young children.
