Kate’s Early Development Coaching Approach:
Whole-Child Approach
Her curriculum develops all facets of the child—physical, social, emotional, cognitive—for a better experience and outcome.
Story-Based Creative Play
Children learn better when they are using their imaginations and having fun. Her activities leverage storytelling and creative play to keep kids engaged and delighted.
Multi-Sensory Engagement
Children also learn better when more of their senses are engaged. The Birdie Basics activities are designed to stimulate sight, touch, and hearing.
Age-Appropriateness
They’ve developed a way to teach sound golf principles that are accessible to very young minds and bodies, adjusting the techniques for every developmental milestone.
