About

Hi! Dance teacher on wheels reporting for duty! Welcome to my website and my blog! I’m so glad you stopped by! You will find a variety of ideas for teaching littles (that’s what I call the young ones) that you can take back to your class and explore with your students. I love to come up with creative ways to teach almost anything to the 6 and under crowd. I have been blogging for a year and a half now and have loved every minute of it! You will find a useful post about every other day!

To make sure you don’t miss out, don’t forget  to subscribe to my RSS feed as I would love to hear from you through comments or emails! Want to contact me? Or interested in guest posting? Contact me through the ‘contact me’ tab or you can e-mail me at maria.f.hanley@gmail(dot)com.

About my teaching philosophy:

I believe every child should have the freedom to be creative. In Maria’s Movers dance, movement, and yoga classes children are encouraged to share their ideas and express their natural movements. Repetition is an important part of my early childhood classes. My goal is to create a fun and safe environment that children want to talk about everyday!

Here are some words that describe my class:

innovative, loving, creative, exciting, educational,encouraging,  nurturing, challenging, exciting, stimulating, engaging, upbeat, and joyful!
