About me... My name is Kirsten Nottleson. I have been facilitating workshops for child care staff and parents for 13 years. I worked as a teacher in an Early Childhood Classroom for seven years. I have an Early Childhood Education Degree and Teacher Certification for K-3. I have presented at National, State, and local conferences, and teach on a regular basis at Family Connections Resource Center in Austin. I have been married for ten years, I am the proud mother of two boys, Josh and Jack and I love working with families!!
Hand in Hand Workshops began 8 years ago. I had been facilitating workshops for parents and teachers at my preschool and for a couple other organizations for about 5 years when I left the classroom to be at home with my newborn son. It wasn't long before I realized that I really missed working with parents and six months later Hand in Hand Workshops was born.
Hand in Hand Workshops... offers a variety of quality trainings for parents and teachers with a focus on nurturing the relationship between children and their caregivers. I focus on play, brain research, connection, emotional safety and release, laughter, creativity, and secure attachment.
I understand that today’s parents are often working under tremendous pressure and stress, with insufficient support. I know that they will be at their best when they are getting the help they need. I work with families to provide them with tools to begin to understand their own history and build the support network they need in order to parent more consciously and effectively. |
