She Rocks in the Tree Tops All Day Long

Tweet Tweet Tweet: Rockin' Mama

by Just Add Kids Founder, Paula Herrmann

It's been a long time coming. It has been several month's since Just Add Kids awarded it's first and last JAK Peep Award.
(see JAK Chat "This Chick is #1")

Not that there aren't so many many many moms (or other peeps) that I run across daily that are deserving of this highly honorable award, because, there are. There are just certain people that stick out because what they do makes an impact on others' lives. And this lady ain't no exception. In fact, she is exceptional! Read More...

This mom ain't no stranger to Just Add Kids. If you've read recent blog posts here in JAK Chat, subscribe to our e-mails, or are a friend on Facebook, the likelihood of you running across her, or perhaps the fruits of her labor are pretty strong.

I only met Cindy Schultz, mother of 5, from Caledonia a short 6 months ago. And since then, we've probably been in touch every week, several times a week, if not several times a day, depending on what's going on. And if you are in Cindy's world, there is ALWAYS something going on. If I'd try to track her comings and goings, I'd be freaking exhausted.

To learn more about Cindy, I am just going to connect you here with my previous articles:

You Had Me At...Hello! Meeting Cindy, Gavin & Rusty (August 1st)
Hang Tight: Taking Flight (September 26th)

And I'd be remiss if I didn't share what she's wanting you to know about...

Flappin' their wings singing go bird go!"

AWESOME Dad

Well, most are! I know your kid's daddy might not be tops in your book, yet, in the eyes of your child, he probably is. I am so grateful that when my husband and I mutually took the risk to vow to spend our lives together, then had/have children, (while not always perfect) he ended up being quite the awesome dad. Assist your child in sharing his/her celebration of dad. (Um, I am sure you know, Father's Day is next Sunday, June 17th). Here's a great way to do that, pocket $100 gift card for your kiddo, and knock out that Father's Day gift! Here's how... Read More...

Why is my Child Spooning Beans? The Importance of a Montessori Education Sponsored by Small World Montessori At first glance, a Montessori classroom is not like that of any other. Upon entering you may find a child spooning beans between 2 dishes, another working with a map of South America, or playing the bells by scale. These are just a few of the unique activities in a Montessori classroom. We offer a homelike environment in which we approach education of the "whole child" through hands on, self-directed activities. How is it possible that children are working independently at their own activities? Read More... The environment is carefully staged with progressively difficult, self-correcting materials, and most instruction is delivered one on one. Our extensive curriculum spans from 2 1/2 through 6 years old. The mixed age classroom allows the child to work at her own pace and since instruction is individual, no child is left behind or forced...
