My passion, purpose and personal interests are to support children to reach their full potential. Going the extra mile to reach that goal is compulsory for me.
My approach is putting the fun in functional. In fact, according to research by Dr. Karyn Purvis, scientists have discovered that it takes approximately 400 repetitions to create a new synapse in the brain, unless it is done in play, in which case it only takes 10 to 20 repetitions.
