Pages and Play Podcast
Pages & Play is where children’s books meet real life. Each episode, hosts Monique Dupree, known as Nanny Miss Monique, and Dara Green Yates from Seaside Staffing Company take a children’s book and explore how it connects to the ways kids learn, grow, and make sense of the world. They dig into how stories can spark movement, creativity, and deeper conversations—whether you’re a nanny, parent, or educator. Their goal is simple: to give you practical ideas and inspiration you can bring straight to the kids in your life. Every episode ends with the Practical Magic Activity, a quick, hands-on idea that turns storytime into playtime for children ages two to five.
