Her ability to bring sessions to life with songs, activities and really useful ideas for the classroom was very well received among our participants. Ever so diligent, Ellen works hard from pre- to post-event to impart from her wealth of knowledge and contribute to the overall success of the event. We are indeed very thankful and honoured to have her presence at our event.
Thanks once again, for being such a gem at our event! I'm still humming your song in my head from time to time now, and I'm sure the delegates are too! :)"

Crespino-Bramlage Early Childhood Development Lecture Series Ellen Booth Church- Keynote Speaker
"Our event was geared towards parents of children 0-5 years of age and our topic was The Power of Play. We had a small group of parents but Ellen made it worth their while. She made the parents feel comfortable, it was a very intimate lecture between Ellen and the parents. She started the lecture off with a song about saying hello with different parts of your body or of the things you were wearing, surprising enough the parents joined in eagerly. Ellen spoke about different ways of playing with your child while at home, in the car or on a walk. She taught us that you don’t need to buy all these expensive toys for your child to play with and that they just need you, someone that cares. Ellen really related to the parents with her own experiences and how she still remembers those moments of play with her parents/grandparents. Ellen helped the parents understand that the child’s imagination is a great thing and that we should all encourage children to use this magical tool as often as possible. Ellen was an extremely incredible speaker she is so playful and inspiring. I love that she embraces children and that we too can learn from them. She left me motivated and ready to take on parenthood. I highly recommend Ellen as a keynote speaker. I’m actually thinking what we could use her for next!"

"Ellen Booth Church was a delight to have as the keynote speaker at our third annual Symposium. Her warmth, knowledge, experience, and professional demeanor was enthusiastically received by over 150 educators. She engaged the audience, led an additional breakout session for those who wanted more, and returned the next morning for an exclusive parent workshop on brain building play. Ellen was a pleasure to work with."
