Summit Sessions is an ongoing educational series for nannies, educators, newborn care specialists, and other private service professionals who gather monthly for inspiring and cutting-edge experts and leaders in their fields, who will offer their expertise in the form of live, interactive sessions for attendees to take in, ask questions of, and learn from.
OUR TAKEAWAYS:
For this month’s live stream we were honored to speak with the intuitive and inspiring Meghan Foster, founder of T Is For Tot Curriculum.
Meghan says: “I’m a curriculum developer for toddlers and preschoolers. I design play-based curriculum and activities. I’m a mom of two, Jackson (toddler) and Jarrett (infant). Before becoming a curriculum developer, I taught kindergarten for 7 years in Nashville, TN. While teaching in Nashville, I worked with a team that developed the curriculum for all kindergarten teachers which helped develop my love of creating curriculum. I also served in a leadership capacity that designed the entire framework for new teachers entering the Nashville school system.
While teaching kindergarten, I discovered a majority of students came into kindergarten not entirely prepared to be successful upon entering. I created a play-based, literature-rich toddler & preschool curriculum that allows children to play and have fun while learning the fundamentals that will ensure they are ready to thrive in preschool and kindergarten.”

It is our goal as parents, nannies, & caregivers to instill in our children a life-long love of learning. In this webinar, we are going to discuss strategies that not only teach the essential fundamentals for toddlers & preschoolers, but we’re going to discuss ways to make this process FUN and developmentally appropriate. There is ample early childhood research that states the importance of starting learning early, but this learning needs to be a play-based approach that engages and eventually leads the child to be motivated in their own learning.
In this session we discussed the following points:
- Teaching your toddler/preschooler the basic & essential fundamentals while making the learning process fun.
- Engaging & leading your child in becoming motivated in their own learning.
- Learning play-based strategies to get your toddler & preschooler ready to excel in kindergarten.
