How would it be if young youngsters could be the ones to lead their own education and explore the world using imagination, imagination and fun?

When she realized that traditional method of learning wasn't always efficient in early childhood education, educator Veronica Green set out to find out the answer to this. The results she came up with revolutionized the entire course of education.

Today, Veronica is an early child consultant, and also the creator of Cultivating confidence  Cultivating Confidence, a company that assists educators in planning engaging programs, identify the behaviors of students and develop deeper relationships by playing and creativity.

Here's the story of how Veronica leaned into her own experiences and became an industry-leading figure, changing how we teach children throughout the process.

"When I started learning more about loose part play and found myself enthralled again."

Before Veronica embarked on her creative journey her life was full of hats as an early childhood educator, and mom to a son that is autistic.

She was running an accredited early childhood program at her house and was learning how to manage the unique requirements of her son. Standard activities weren't cutting it, so Veronica did some research to find solutions that worked both for her students as her son.

The result led Veronica to "loose parts play" an interactive, child-led learning method in which youngsters use their unique objects from everyday life and their imaginations to create sense of the world around them, investigate, solve problems and invent, engage in different thinking and obviously, have fun.

Veronica was also able to learn about different methods of teaching children that place inquiry and play on the top of the list.

The creative ideas, perseverance, and perseverance proved fruitful. Veronica learned how to understand her son's methods of communication, and his behaviours while giving support to all of the children she cared for.

"Going through this really formed who I am as an educator and as a person" Veronica explains. "It enabled me to look at the world in a different way, with fresh perspectives."

"My son has been my best teacher, to see the world differently and to stand out from the grain...and enjoy a lot of fun throughout the process," Veronica says on her website . "My son has given me all the things I've learned."

They appreciated her transparency and her ability to provide an engaging, diverse learning environment. She was innovative as an educator, and her students thrived. Her audience wanted to know more.

"When I started learning more about loose parts play, I was able to discover my creativity again .... This brought out my creative side when I was in my ECE position. I uploaded photos and explained the "whys" behind what we were doing through social media. others ECEs were enticed and asked questions."

Veronica was aware that the education methods she was studying could help early childhood educators reach countless children, and she imagined one day sharing her knowledge on a larger number of people.

"I recorded my first courseon my smartphone in Starbucks at the end of my 10-hour work days and I'm keeping it going."

One of the first items Veronica created was an online program on sensory requirements. The course teaches research-based information and her personal experiences with working with her son.

"I created my first course] off my phone in Starbucks after my 10 hour days, and I'm still keeping the course running. The format is the same. I haven't changed it. The patients have received a diagnosis and get the assistance they require following the treatment. It's a great feeling I'm extremely grateful to be a part of the fact that it has happened."

Veronica's authenticity made her course distinct from the rest on the market. Through revealing the true experiences and challenges of her life, Veronica helped other families and teachers feel comforted and inspired.

The host explains how early childhood teachers often are conditioned to remain "on" all the time and can't show emotions. The program incorporates a human aspect by discussing the real issues as well as how the family of hers overcame them.

"A lot of it was sharing the journey. I'm very willing to talk about the great as well as the not-so-great moments as that's the place we learnt from," Veronica explains.

As well as her highly successful training course Veronica is also offering live classes which she then repackages and offers as replays on demand.

These workshops cover topics like playing with loose parts and making spaces that are centered around curiosity, which teachers could use to enhance their professional growth .

"I like showing up live and teaching because I'm in the present moment. When I'm recording it's like I'm too caught up in my head, and I forget the words I'm saying .... But when I'm just talking through Zoom during a workshop, I feel like I'm on top of the world. I've got the notes. I'm ready to go. Also, I think the content comes out better that way."

Up next, we'll examine the methods Veronica uses to run her business behind the scenes.

"[] created an opportunity for me to concentrate on my work instead of trying to figure out my business's problems."

Creators need a reliable location to manage the nuts and bolts involved in managing a business. Let Veronica simplify her tools, remain organized and not worry on technical problems.

"I didn't want to waste the time trying to figure out what to market something. "With this method, I'm able to straight away create an object," Veronica says.

Educators can purchase Veronica's products from her website, without having to change applications. Then, when they sign in to use their materials and access them, the interface is based on Veronica's brand's logo for a seamless professional appearance.

"Customer experience is crucial. I wanted [things to be straightforward]. Early childhood educators are tired. The majority times, ECEs have to do training on their own. And a lot of the time, it's unpaid. Therefore, it's crucial that it's easy for them," Veronica emphasizes.

"The solution has been a lot of the big problems that I had tech-wise as well as created more time to focus at my company instead of problem-solving my business. That's massive. I didn't realize how much time I spent (troubleshooting) until I got everything across."

We'll be looking at the different methods Veronica is able to achieve success with her business and her tips to aspiring artists.

"For the beginning three years of my company, it was just about making content. Now I don't need to create more. It's time to improve it."

In terms of material, Veronica knows that having there is no guarantee that more content will be better. She reminds creators that you aren't required to remain on the hamster wheel of constantly churning out new material.

For Veronica she is less concerned with the quantity, and more about quality.

"I do not feel that I have to write 200 blog entries . It's a lot. Nobody's going to see them. If I've got 30 to 50 pieces of content, that's a quantity. You can always make changes. I can change things... My do that to keep my creativity going."

"I'm all about recycling the content. Always. Every single video I've made ..., is made to the highest quality."

Content repurposing is when you select a particular piece of work and transform it into many different media and channels.

"I'm all about repurposing the content. Always. Every video I've ever created, ..., it's used to the max," she explains.

"I have just made an YouTube video , and that video came from a text blog article that I have written very well .... Now I just need embed the video into the blog. After that, I post stuff on my social media channels regarding the video. I pull out videos and quotes, I post the pictures, and I make carousels. .... And then I email my list about it."

Veronica insists that content creators should not get pressured into creating new material when they could frequently repurpose the content they have in inventive ways. Through reformatting old materials and working smarter, not more.

"I believe that everybody in our digital society says you've got to make weekly new content. I feel like, as an artistic person, it's too draining to do that. If I'm inspired to create something, it's going to be amazing. But if I'm not inspired, it's not going to succeed. If I have only one video or blog post up a month, I'm good with that."

But there is one that Veronica is doing every single week, rain or shine and that is to send a message to her list of email addresses.

"I've consistently sent out emails every single week because I finally made it a priority over everything else, and it's an enormous benefit."

When she decided to start selling workshops, she observed how business owners of other businesses gained new customers.

Since the beginning, word-of-mouth as well as social media have proven to be huge growth drivers on Veronica's lists. The website also provides several free lead magnets designed for her ideal market.

Because people must sign up for your email list to obtain leads, everyone benefits. Creators attract subscribers who are keen on their field of expertise, and individuals learn something new.

In the past year, Veronica is making it the goal to mail her subscribers every week. The PDF newsletter was discarded. newsletter and writes from the heart.

"Now I utilize my weekly email as a creative outlet. I sit down on Mondays to kick off my week writing my Sunday email for the next week. I make a list of the content I want to write however, I compose from me. It's the way I be a part of my process and to work to improve my writing. It feels more genuine. It's more me."

The importance of authenticity is the mainstay of what Veronica does, and her weekly emails are no one-off.

"Carve out space to develop your skills."

One of the most important tips Veronica offers to be successful? Make time to practice your skills.

Be careful not to get too overwhelmed by running your business that you forget the reason you began. Enjoy the subjects you're teaching and deepening your knowledge.

"Carve out that space for you to focus on your work, whatever it is," Veronica advises. "When you begin running your own company, you aren't doing the work you've been doing. You spend most of your time running the business rather than doing the work."

The last but not least is that Veronica insists on how vital it is to be a self-directed person . Do not let other people's opinions make you lose sight of your goals.

"Listen to what others are talking about and sharing however, take everything with a grain of salt," she explains. "You don't know everything that's taking place in the background. You don't know if they have a group of employees. You don't know how much the money they need to invest into marketing. There's no knowledge of this. They're only choosing to share only a specific aspect but you're not aware of the whole situation."

"That analogy can actually slow you down and prevent your from progressing. Pay attention to the story. But ask yourself, what could I use this to me? Do not feel the need to duplicate it exactly the same in order to make it work for them."

The conversation is akin to the advice of Veronica on content creation and choosing a process that is suited to your personal needs.

The world of digital marketing said she needed to publish each week something new, Veronica tried it -and then decided it wasn't the right choice for her business. She was unable to make money since she spent all her time producing content.

Today, Veronica has honed her approach. She makes fewer pieces of content each month, but she does not compromise on quality. Everything she does focuses on driving more sales, gaining more followers and getting her work in the hands of top early childhood teachers.

"It was a long period of time to get rid of everything people tell me to do. I lost my voice because of this," she recalls.

"You have to figure out the best way to make your life work for you. Each person has his own unique things going on. Every person's story is unique. You will get there. You must believe that you can do it. You really, really do. You're going to doubt it. You're going to hate it. You're getting ready to end it, but you just have to believe it."

Presently, Veronica is making a significant impact on early childhood education by using her knowledge of the field and candid personal experiences.

Her business has been built according to her own rules and is focused on quality over volume, recycling content, nurturing her email list, and carving out the space for her to work to her work.

Veronica has helped numerous educators better serve their students, and we know she's only just beginning. We can't wait to find out where her imagination and passion take her next.
