The SPARK

Coaching for Parents Who Want Play to Lead the Way

Confident Parents. Joyful Learners. The Spark Starts Here.

Does Teaching Your Child Feel Like Building IKEA Furniture?

You’ve got all the pieces — letters, sounds, books, even well-researched curriculum. But instead of clarity, you’re left with overwhelm and doubt. It’s like one of those IKEA manuals — all pictures, no words — and you’re stuck playing picture charades while wishing someone would just spell it out in plain English.

And honestly? You’re just plain tired. Drained. At this point, you’d love it if Alexa could just tell you what to bloody do already.

Sound familiar? You’re not alone.

That’s why I created The SPARK Coaching Framework — a simple, joyful roadmap for parents who want to stop second-guessing and start feeling confident in how they teach.

👉 With my flexible new asynchronous program, The Spark, you’ll get clear strategies and playful tools that actually work for your child — so learning at home feels lighter, joyful, and doable again.

There’s a lot to assemble in framing your child’s education
Yet you don’t have to do it alone

When we sit down, most parents tell me they feel:

  • Unsure if they’re doing “enough”

  • Tired of juggling lesson plans, housework, and daily life, and wishing they could jumpstart their own creative flow again

  • Isolated and second-guessing their choices

  • Worried their child might be falling “behind”

It’s heavy. And it’s not because you’re doing something wrong — it’s because you’ve been handed “manuals” that weren’t written for your child or your family.

So let’s work on this together!

I have two coaching options for your consideration.

First….

The Spark

This one’s for the parent who’s saying: “Please don’t make me add one more thing to my calendar!”

With The Spark, you don’t have to. You get asynchronous video coaching support on your own time — access and relay video messages, resources, and feedback when it works for you, using the Marco Polo video app.

Here’s why parents love it:

  • No calendar stress → respond and reflect when it fits your day

  • Personalized Plans → no one-size-fits-all here! Everything is personalized to your child’s learning style, interests, and current learning goals. YOUR needs are at the forefront, as well.

  • Practical resources → simple, playful ideas you can actually use right away with resources you have on hand or easy & affordable ones I recommend. (I’m looking at you, index cards!)

  • Community built-in → monthly Zoom call + our free FB group (The Reading Playground) to swap ideas and encouragement with other parents

The Spark gives you the freedom to move at your own pace — while still knowing you’ve got me (and a whole community) in your corner.

You & I can work together to create a plan for engaging your child actively
in the learning process.

You will learn more about instructing your child through play, movement, and experimentation.

Your connection with your child will immediately grow, as you delve into games, songs, experiments, and movement together.

“5 Gold Stars!”

“Amy’s technique, unlike any we had encountered before, broke down the writing process on a level that was both intriguing and highly effective. What set her apart was her willingness to work with me privately, imparting her invaluable technique. This enabled me to reinforce and practice one-on-one with my daughter, resulting in a remarkable transformation. I wholeheartedly recommend Amy to any parent seeking a positive and effective approach to teaching writing. Amy’s ability to connect with both children and parents is truly remarkable, and the knowledge and tools she provides have been a game changer for us.”

Play is the Way!

Scientists have discovered it takes approximately 400 repetitions to create new synapses in the brain…UNLESS it’s done through PLAY, in which case it only takes 10 to 20 repetitions!

That’s why play isn’t extra — it’s essential.
Play is what makes learning stick, spark, and shine.

It’s at the heart of everything I share with parents: clear strategies, practical tools, and playful approaches that bring joy back into learning.
