At Moving Little Minds...
We believe teaching and play go hand in hand. We recognize that the science of reading has proven that some literacy foundational skills—like phonological awareness and alphabet knowledge—do need direct instruction. However, the real magic in preschool happens when we reinforce those skills through play. Teaching sets the foundation, and play strengthens it.
Our Approach is Simple...
-
Empower educators through training with the tools and knowledge needed to teach skills to preschoolers in a clear, engaging way.
-
Provide engaging games and activities to educators, helping teachers to seamlessly use purposeful play in the classroom.
-
Transform your teaching to align with the latest research and create lasting, meaningful impacts on children’s learning and development...all while children have FUN!
The Research is Clear...
Children need both guided instruction and playful exploration to learn. No more choosing between learning and play. When we combine intentional teaching with meaningful play, we create opportunities for children to develop critical skills while staying engaged and joyful. We are here to give teachers the background knowledge and tools to merge to merge instruction with PLAY!

Meredith, Preschool Director
"Melissa McColl has a wealth of knowledge about early childhood education. She uses research as her basis to develop age-appropriate learning experiences. Her ideas and activities are easy to implement in the classroom setting and help build the foundation for learning in preschool-aged children."
Amelia, Preschool Teacher
“I have loved watching how the children in my classroom have responded to her 'Moving Little Minds' letter cards. They are excited about learning the names of letters and letter sounds. This program is great for all learning styles- visual, auditory, and kinesthetic. I’m thankful for her expertise and the way she has helped me grow in my teaching skills."
Laura, Preschool Parent
"Literacy has a new meaning in our house! We get so many fresh ideas from Ms. Melissa that make early reading and letter recognition so fun. I love how she makes everything into a game, from letter sound song and play, to letter forming with tools you most likely have around the house...It’s brought a new perspective to my parenting and has put a new spin on literacy as a whole for me."
