Hi, Ginger here... 

Kids don't need MORE work. They need the RIGHT KIND of work. Bright kids sometimes whip through their assignments in minutes. They coast through school, often bored and unchallenged. Our education system wasn’t built for them, and let’s be honest: it can't change fast enough. It’s up to us. If we wait until the upper grades to introduce real challenge, it’s too late.  We can't let them sail through Pre-K to 2 with ZERO struggle, only to hit a wall later.  We need to offer thoughtful, structured challenges early on.  That’s why I love my job!  I’m Ginger, a three-time certified English teacher, Gifted Specialist, and Executive Function Coach, with over 20 years of experience helping kids succeed.  After working in classrooms and administration, I'm coaching and creating activities for kids.   My mission?  To help kids escape boredom for good and give them the tools and strategies they need to stay curious, organized, challenged, and growing.
