In this heartwarming and insightful episode, Tara sits down with Ms. Monica, beloved educator and YouTube sensation, to talk about the power of early childhood education and the importance of literacy. Known for her joyful “Circle Time with Ms. Monica,” she shares how her passion for teaching and connecting with children inspired her to bring learning into homes during the pandemic, helping parents everywhere create meaningful learning moments right from their living rooms.

The conversation dives into the state of literacy today, exploring how less than half of U.S. children are read to daily and why consistency and intentionality are key to fostering a lifelong love of reading. Ms. Monica offers practical tips for parents, like building a print-rich environment, modeling reading behavior, and even turning everyday activities like neighborhood walks into learning opportunities.

Together, Tara and Ms. Monica explore the balance between technology and real-world experiences, discussing how screens can complement, not replace, human connection and curiosity.
