With Connected Start, Connection and Learning Come Full Circle

Sessions uniquely designed to help little ones build stronger connections with their caregivers, their environment, and each other, all while fostering healthy development.

I’m a parent or caregiver
I’m an educator

The first five years of a child’s life are when the strongest connections are made — they're like little sponges!

Don’t be afraid to set the bar high – they can be better than our highest expectations! Giving them a chance to reach higher and shine brighter sets them up for strong academic performance and lifelong success.

So, you may be asking, how do you do it?

  • How do you know where to focus?
  • How do you keep children engaged?
  • How do I make the most of this time and make learning happen effortlessly and naturally?

Yes, you can Pinterest a list of activities or ideas to do. But that’s not enough.

Because it’s not just about the rhymes and activities, it’s HOW you connect that matters.

Our Mission: to take early learning from passive to purposeful

Connected Start’s mission is to create strong, positive connections between caregivers and children and promote healthy development.

Learning should be fun and engaging, so we use tools like puppets, rhymes, and songs that are tailored to your child’s needs. Your little ones will pick up important skills in a fun and natural way.

With Connected Start, your child will be on the fast track to success and you’ll have the tools to support them every step of the way.

How we connect

Connected Start programs are built on research and evidence-based principles. I believe that understanding how children learn and how their brains develop is key to creating effective programs that really work.

But it doesn’t stop there. Every child is unique and has their own way of learning, so I take a personalized approach so each child gets the most out of our experience together.

During our sessions, we use:

  • Engaging Puppets
  • Movement
  • Sensory Play
  • Rhymes & Songs​
  • Parachute Play
  • And more!

Testimonial

“I have taken both of my boys (starting at 10 months old for one, and the other at age 3) to Ms. Saira classes. She is their FAVOURITE. I am constantly impressed at how she pays such close attention to them and their development, and caters activities towards each child, while celebrating their learning and growth and developmental achievements. I personally attend the classes with my children and get to witness her innovative approach and the organized manner with which she conducts the classes. Everything is so planned out and thought through and she mixes it up each time so everything feels fresh and stimulating for the kids. Best class ever! My one year old (who was in the class longer) has grown and developed SO much with these classes.”
