Elizabeth Brown, Founder
During my time teaching, I often found myself suppressing my own emotions throughout the day to be at my best for my students and maximize productivity. This left me feeling exhausted, often collapsing as soon as I got home. Today, I continue to witness parents, teachers, and supervisors alike caught in a constant cycle of time constraints and to-do lists, all the while striving to give their best selves to the children in their care and often sacrificing much of their own well-being in the process.
This is why I founded Gold Willow: to create a space for those of us who are passionate about early childhood education but too often feel exhausted, depleted, and in need of support and replenishment.
The goals of my consulting sessions are simple: to help you develop and refine your educational tools and caregiving practices, while also encouraging a balanced approach that does not lose sight of your own well-being.
Consultation process :
Step 1: Free Initial Consultation
Purpose: This is an opportunity for you to discuss the area you need support with (child behavioral guidance, organizational tools, accommodation for special needs children, curriculum projects, second language acquisition, etc.).
Goal: Understanding your specific needs and challenges to assess how we can we support you.
Format: 30 minute session online or in person.
Step 2: 45 min Follow-up Consultations
Purpose: These sessions focus on reviewing any successes since the initial consultation and assessing ongoing or new needs.
Goal: Provide tailored guidance, refine strategies, and discuss any adjustments based on progress made.
Format: 45 minute session online or in person. A more in-depth conversation where you work through challenges, assess progress, and identify any new areas of focus for future sessions.
Sessions available in both English and French.
