I have had Tina come in to my child care programs to provide hands on and on line workshops for many years. Each workshop is exciting and interesting. My Educators are able to successfully use the information and ideas Tina has presented the next day in their own classroom. We appreciate the energy Tina brings when presenting and really enjoy the photos she uses to show examples of the ideas she is sharing. With the wide selection of topics Tina has to choose from my Educators are inspired to further their education. Thank you Tina for helping us to continue to be up to date and have exciting new ideas to implement!!

Over the last 6 years or perhaps longer our child care centre has been taking amazing workshops offered by Tina Geers from Inspired Minds ECC. In the past we have taken many numerous other workshops even related to the same topics but somehow, it does NOT compare to Tina's workshops. The other speakers are very boring, lectures and handout are long, not very relatable to our particular childcare classroom /daycare program. Totally the opposite with Inspired Minds!!! Tina works so very hard to making each workshop special with all her attention to details setting up for each table and chairs the course package, pens, some little goodies for staff to enjoy, and little creative toys, games or supplies related to the course/ topic. Tina is so prepared setting up everything well before workshop time including setting up projector and screen, an information table with extra resources and books, and creating a very tidy and organized meeting space. The best part is her final musical touch as she creates a warm, relaxing and happy atmosphere for the educators by putting on her super cool songs and playlist which include Louis Armstrong "What a wonderful world", Hawaiian singer Israel Kamakawiwo'ole's "Over the rainbow" and many more inspirational songs. The best thing about Tina is her excellent communication skills as she is so down to earth, can totally relate to child care/ daycare educators with all the daily lingo and experiences. Tina is very funny and keeps the 2-3 hour workshop go by so fast with her very interesting stories of her experiences related to teaching and classrooms. The BEST workshop was the "Tinkering and Toying with STEM". Tina brought more than 20 different actual activities and toys and set them all over our classrooms and the best part was that our educators got to explore and try hands on the great activities. Soon after this workshop Tina came into our OSC program and took the OSC children and teachers on a field trip to the nearby neighborhood "Dollar store" to help us select and pickup some Loose parts and STEM supplies and materials. When they all got back, they collaboratively created and worked to create really cool loose part and STEM activities in which the children still enjoy. Tina at Inspired Minds has totally and completely INSPIRED my educators and we can't wait to learn more!! Thank you so much Tina!!!
