Meet Trish Skinner
Hello! And thanks for visiting my site! I’m Trish Skinner, retired in 2004 after twenty years in the Navy and the mother
of two precious children, Alexander and
Zahara. As you can see, I have all the children
I need from A to Z.
Having a second child 12 years after the first and being retired has given
me the opportunity to take part in all the wonderful changes and growth in my
daughter that I wasn’t able to see with my son. With that in mind, I knew I
wanted to take a bigger part in her pre-school education. Thus I started
researching different subjects about child education.
I became an Independent Certified Instructor in July of 2005 after reading about
Linda Acredolo and Susan Goodwyn’s incredible two decade research and success
with the use of sign language in infants and toddlers!
In July, 2011, I also became a certified ECE Trainer, which allows me to facilitate the Center Certification Programs to day care centers, child development centers and home care professionals, as well as becoming an On The Grow Educator! These new classes are an amazing blend of signs, fun and knowledge targeted to children as early as birth and all the way up to toddler! As a former veteran instructor
in several areas, I knew these programs would add a wonderful challenge to my life. Teaching
pint size students! Not to mention a wonderful bonding experience with my own child, Zahara.
It has proven to be a grand adventure with lots of exciting opportunities to
provide a beneficial service to parents, day care providers and children. Along
with BeeBo™ the Baby Signs® Bear, we’ve met some wonderful people and made
quite a few new friends along the way!
At the moment, I offer classes within Kitsap (Bremerton, Port Orchard, Silverdale, Poulsbo
and Bainbridge Island areas). So if you’re interested in taking a class or just
receiving a promotional presentation for your business or organization, please
feel free to contact me via email or
call me at 360 377-1144.
Thanks again for visiting and I hope to hear from you and your little ones soon!
