Heartz and Mindz utilizes creative and brain based methods to help develop the hearts and minds of uniquely designed children and families.

CREATIVE

Our resources use various methods such as stories, drama, art, kinesthetic activities, metaphors and more.  When a variety of creative methods are utilized, learning becomes not only fun, but also “sticky,” meaning it helps us retain concepts and information.

BRAIN BASED

In creating resources, we’ve taken into consideration methods that help our brains capture, keep and utilize the knowledge we are learning.

HEARTZ

Behavior is a result of what our hearts know, love, and believe.  Therefore, Heartz N Mindz resources focus on pushing kids to Know and Love Jesus and His gospel instead of on methods to manipulate behavior.  Behavior modification often creates  a “short term good kid” instead of a child whose focus in on loving our great God.  “Above all else guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it.”  Prov. 4:23

MINDZ

Although we are not experts in all of the various learning challenges, we have spent years learning to help kids with ADHD, speech delays, and other issues.  In addition, we’ve spent years teaching kids of various ages all academic areas.  We LOVE great literature, developing higher order thinking skills, encouraging entrepreneurial minds and making learning fun!

UNIQUELY DESIGNED

We LOVE that God created us all UNIQUE!  Maybe that’s the creative part of us speaking.   One  method doesn’t work for all.  Each person has different strengths and weaknesses.  Therefore, you will find various strategies suggested to teach and engage UNIQUE individuals.

CHILDREN

Raising up the next generation is a high calling in need of a BIG God.  In a culture that wants our children to place their identity in their appearance, social status, abilities, possessions and more, it is a battle to focus their hearts on the only true God that can provide eternal peace and joy.  Therefore, our resources are designed to help parents, teachers, families, and churches develop the hearts and minds of kids.

FAMILIES

Our culture tears apart families.  We hope to facilitate strong family connections through our resources.

What do we really do?

WRITE STUFF

You’ll find various articles on topics related to training up kids to love Jesus as well as developing their minds based on their individual academic abilities and needs.

CREATE PRODUCTS

And then there are a few great products I’ve developed to help you along the way.  Some products will focus on helping kids develop academically and emotionally.  Other products will focus on engaging kid’s hearts to love Jesus.
