A former elementary school teacher turned stay-at-home mom shows you how sensory play builds language—walk away with your own DIY bin!
About this Event

Motherhood can feel isolating sometimes — especially when you’re wondering, “Am I doing enough to help my little one learn?” You don’t need endless Pinterest crafts or fancy toys. What you do need is a simple, powerful tool to spark your child’s brain development and vocabulary… all while having fun together.



💡 In this hands-on workshop, you’ll:
  • See real-life role play demos of how to use bins to teach new words & spark conversations
  • Learn why sensory play is one of the best tools for brain growth & early language
  • Discover my 3-ingredient formula to build endless bins at home (without overwhelm)
  • Create your own Halloween-themed sensory bin during the workshop with all materials provided — and take it home for instant play!
  • Connect with other moms who are navigating the same stage of life

    I’ve taken my years as an elementary school teacher and reframed those strategies for babies and toddlers — and now, as a fellow stay-at-home mom, I get to share them with you in a way that actually fits real mom life.

🌟 What You’ll Walk Away With
  • A ready-to-use Halloween-themed sensory bin (built by YOU during the workshop)
  • A mama-tested formula to repeat at home with any theme or season
  • A 1-page guide: “10 Sensory Bin Prompts for Language Development”
  • Confidence that you are your child’s best teacher — and new mom friends to share the journey with

👩🏻‍🏫 About Your Host

Viviana Polanco is a former dual-language elementary school teacher with 8 plus years of teaching experience, rated as a Highly Effective teacher throughout her entire teaching career. Her innovative, hands-on approach earned her class statewide recognition when they were chosen out of all of New York to have their work featured at the U.S. Capitol Christmas Tree — celebrated on FOX 5, News 12, newspapers, radio stations, Board of Education, and honored with a proclamation from the Suffolk County Executive.

Now a stay-at-home mom, Viviana combines Montessori-inspired principles and a holistic outlook with playful, language-rich learning at home. She believes babies and toddlers are far more capable than we often think, and her own daughter is living proof of the power of play. Today, instead of teaching students, she teaches moms — equipping them with the tools, confidence, and community to step into their role as their child’s very best teacher.

Her mission is simple: to help moms like you turn ordinary moments into extraordinary learning — with her guidance as your mentor, the reassurance that you’re not alone, and the support of other moms building community alongside you.
