"Mrs. Angela Russ-Ayon presented My Shadow Moves with Me: Simplifying Science! to forty preschool teachers and family child care providers on March 18, 2023, in Imperial County.
Mrs. Angela has a knack for presenting information that some teachers may find intimidating in a way that is non-threatening and gets the teachers excited and feeling empowered! Attendees learned about the areas of science and were provided with simple, relatable examples. Teachers loved the visuals she shared, particularly the science stations, and couldn’t wait to return to the classroom to set up their own!
Mrs. Angela engaged the participants with songs, music and movement, and hands-on experiments! Her training resembles a high-quality early childhood program that reminds teachers how much fun learning can and should be!"

Angela's keynotes and workshops are anything but ordinary. She brings her sessions to life with a dynamic blend of lecture, PowerPoint visuals, music, and movement activities that ignite creativity and engagement. She has a knack for delivering “ah-ha” moments that spark creativity and engage participants from both an early childhood-oriented and adult learner's perspective. The lengths of her presentations vary, as do the activities, depending upon the audience. She speaks to audiences young and old on topics such as early childhood development, early math, simple science, creativity, and literacy.
Angela's interactive keynotes are 1-hour, while professional development can range from 1 to 3.5 hours. Inquire if you need a longer session. Expect hands-on activities, breakout sessions, and collaborative experiences that leave participants inspired and equipped with practical strategies. Due to the high-energy, participatory nature of her training, it’s best enjoyed in an active setting. Her presentations are not recommended while dining.
