Meet Dr. Shayla Means-Williams

Welcome! My name is Shayla. I am a Doctor of Occupational Therapy, educator, and parent coach. I am a mom of four. I homeschool my children and send them to school. Yes, I do both. Why? I believe education is constant and does not stop when the school doors close. I do not depend on systems to teach my children everything they need to know to matriculate through existence. Life is far greater than standardized tests and textbooks. I am aiming to raise children who are:

  • Critical thinkers
  • Kind
  • Explorers
  • Confident and articulate
  • Emotionally intelligent

The Power of Play for Social and Emotional Growth

But play is not just about academic development; it’s also essential for social and emotional growth. Through cooperative play, children learn to communicate, negotiate, and collaborate with others. They develop empathy, resilience, and emotional intelligence – skills that are vital for building meaningful relationships and navigating the complexities of life.
