“Michelle Warkentin’s presentation at our annual Calgary Preschool Teachers Convention exceeded our expectations. Engaging? Yes! Funny? Yes! A recipe for rejuvenation midway through the teaching year – – YES!!
“Michelle had us laughing at her antics and her puppets’ antics. She took us to the make believe world that our students frequent on a regular basis and reminded us how much fun it is in that world. As early childhood educators, we often get caught up in the day-to-day issues and Michelle reminded us about the importance of embracing life and loving it. More importantly, she reconnected us to the creative spirit that resides in all of us. It is that creative spirit that taps into the inner child in all of us. It is that inner child that allows us to be the best early child educators that we can be. It is that inner child that lets us laugh with our children and laugh at ourselves. Important life lessons indeed!
“Michelle’s message about embracing your creative spirit was all the more poignant as she herself is a living embodiment of that message. Her enthusiasm for her profession was infectious and contagious and she made us all smile for the remainder of the convention.”
