As I have been working with children and families in Airdrie for the past 17 years, I have enjoyed watching this community grow. My education and experience in Early Childhood Development have given me a passion and understanding of the impact the first five years of a child’s life has on their overall health, resilience, happiness and later success in school. My experience working with parents, as well as my own parenting journey, has helped me realize first-hand that the parenting adventure is both rewarding and challenging -and those challenges are a lot more manageable when a parent has supportive relationships and is equipped with valuable tools and information. Parenting is not a job that is meant to be done in isolation. Ready, Set, Soar! is a welcoming place where parents and their young children can connect, learn, and grow together while engaging in a variety of high-quality, interactive, research-based Early Childhood classes and workshops. I can’t wait to meet you and your kiddos!

Having lived in Airdrie for over 20 years, I have seen the city grow in so many ways. Being a parent of three kids and having worked in Early Childhood Development and Parent Education for the past 16 years, I know how exciting, frustrating, challenging, and rewarding being a parent can be. Ready, Set, Soar! offers high-quality, evidence-based interactive classses that help ensure Airdrie’s parents can build strong, meaningful relationships with their children while benefiting from positive social interactions, valuable developmental information, and confidence-building strategies. The little ones will learn social skills, build their brains and bodies, while having fun adventures in every class. Parents can participate in educational classes, one-on-on support sessions, and social activities designed for the ongoing development of their children and relationships. I am so excited to get to know you and your little ones!
Our Philosophy
Parent-child relationship
Not only do we understand how important the first five years of a child’s life are to their overall development, but we also recognize how crucial a positive parent-child relationship is to their success, confidence, and happiness later in life.
That is why all of our classes and workshops are designed using evidence-based, connection-based best practices in Early Childhood Development and Positive Parenting. Teaching preschool readiness skills and implementing discipline strategies is a whole lot easier and much more effective when you and your child have a strong connection. You need to connect before you can correct.
Research-based curriculum
We all know children don’t come with manuals but parents do come with a lot of questions. We also know that there is no “one correct way” to parent and all children and families are unique. Accurate, proven answers are often hard to find and that’s why all of the information we provide you with during our classes and during our one-on-one parent coaching sessions, is based on scientific research.
Connection
Connection is a basic human need and parenting is an adventure where connection is definitely a necessity. We want to ensure that the parents in our community who are expecting their first child, or who already have young children, are connected to accurate child development information, evidence-based parenting strategies, as well as to other parents who can accompany them on this exciting journey. Parents will also strengthen their connections to their children as they participate in classes with them.
Our classes also give children, ages 0 to 5, the opportunity build their social skills and relationships as they meet and and interact with new friends.
