Helping Preschoolers Build Strong Fine Motor Foundations
If you've ever wondered whether your preschoolers are really ready for writing, you're not alone. The truth is, strong writing skills grow from playful, intentional fine motor experiences, not from worksheets.
This actionable guide, "From Play to Pencil: Helping Preschoolers Build Strong Fine Motor Foundations," supports early education teachers with developmentally appropriate strategies that build the hand strength, coordination, and confidence children need before formal writing begins. Rooted in play, this guide helps you feel confident that you're laying the right foundation at the right time.

This is yourÂ
gateway to a classroom where every child flourishes
I understand some of the challenges you face daily—the struggle to meet each child’s unique needs amidst a sea of diverse learners can feel overwhelming. Not all preschool teachers receive specialized training in motor development and sensory processing, which can make knowing how to support kids with motor delays or sensory differences really challenging. I’m here to help!
Imagine a classroom where every student's motor skills and sensory preferences are not just recognized but nurtured, and where educators are empowered with the skills to support their development and comfort.Â
With over 20 years of experience and a heart full of passion, I've crafted quality continuing education programs that support both brand new and seasoned early educators.Â
It's not about changing who you are as an educator; it's about widening your perspective, giving you more tools in your toolbox, and enhancing your ability to be the guiding light your students need. I'm here to share this journey with you, as your guide, helping you to gain knowledge and confidence to unlock the full potential of every child in your care.
