Education, mentorship & community for very early childhood professionals who crave depth.
hey, friend - tired of doing this alone?
you are not alone. there's community waiting for you.
You sometimes go days without seeing or talking to another provider. It can feel like you carry the weight of having all the right answers, all the time - and frankly, it's exhausting. You started all of this because it matters so much do it well - but when you're on your own, it can feel impossible to know if that's happening.
Working alone is ... lonely.
Unlike any other membership for early childhood professionals, the Athenaeum is your grown-up community and learning hub.
Crave genuine connection and deep learning?? Want to practice with excellence and have a good time?? Love being an amazing provider (but don't love people who think they know it all?)
Then you're gonna want to be a part of this bespoke, awesome, one-of-a-kind experience - made for people for just like you. Don't miss the next open door!
the Athenaeum is opening her doors
designed just for you
Weekly notes from your new friend.
If you simultaneously care about doing great work while rolling your eyes at people who take themselves far too seriously - then I'm writing for you, my friend.
basically exact quote from Catherine, Katie, Anne, Bailey, and a whole bunch of other lovers of friday notes
“I love these emails so much, they make me cackle. I go to bed early on Thursdays just so Friday can get here faster."
overheard:
I'm Katie, your new super-nerdy, non-judgy early child development mentor & friend.
Hi, friend - I am so glad you're here! As an early intervention OT for over 12+ years (and working for families for over 20), I know it can feel like there's SO much to know about all things child development. I'm a weird little hybrid who loves actual practice + digging into research. And bridging the gap between them.
hey there!
