On this episode, This girl Daisy sparks conversation with Marie Fernandez-Abou, momprenuer, and Founder of Educationalpods.com. This is the latest talk around town, educational pods is a new trend that emerged out of the need to enhance and enrich the virtual learning due to the pandemic, and as the saying goes, “Necessity is the MOTHER of inventions!”. This girl Daisy and Marie have informative conversation where Marie shares her passionate desire to help other moms in a time of need. Being a mom of three boys herself, she felt the need to step up and offer a solution to moms that are not equipped to have the kids at home for distant learning. She says that literally a “lightbulb” turned on in her brain in the middle of the night that she could not ignore, and knew she had to bring educational pods to South Florida. From a place of heartfelt support, Marie explains that in just 4 weeks she created educational pods.com and brought together highly experienced educators and experts in safety to offer support and creative solutions to making sure children can continue to learn with the support of teachers and peers. Tune in to episode 53 and learn the about the different educational pods options which are all built to enrich children’s learning with a multi-sensory approach including qualified educator at hand. The different programs include either one on one, home based approach, destination based or a boost for after school. During the conversation, Marie reminds moms that safety for the children and being able to support families is what has driven her to create this new business venture. She further explains that there is no perfect solution to our current educational scenarios but with educational pods it can temporarily bridge the gap for children to able to offer a sense of normalcy during this pandemic. She is also developing a sponsorship program where corporations or individuals can consider sponsoring a child where the current circumstances are hindering a child’s learning.
