YOU DON'T WANT ANOTHER TRENDY APP...

You want to…

Organize your photos, notes, and ideas without drowning in tabs.

Plan in ways that feel responsive — not rushed.

Create documentation that actually reflects your values and what children are exploring.

But most often you create a piece of documentation, never to look at it again.
And Canva? It can feel intimidating when no one shows you how to use it as an educator, not a designer.

That’s where this series comes in.

This isn’t just about learning how to use Canva.
It’s about using Canva to think, reflect, and make learning visible in powerful new ways.

Over 3 guided video sessions, you’ll:

  • Learn how to set up Canva for your educator workflow
  • Use it to organize emerging ideas and interests
  • Create documentation that supports your planning and advocacy
  • Explore templates that save you time while staying aligned with your values

You’ll also receive a few downloadable templates and guides to help you apply what you learn — even if you only have a few minutes at a time.

Why Canva?

A POWERFUL THINKING & DESIGN TOOL FOR EDUCATORS

Canva is more than just a place to make things look pretty. When used with intention, it becomes a thinking partner — helping you make learning visible, organize your ideas, and reflect with clarity.

And the best part? It’s free to use.

Its drag-and-drop editor makes it simple for even the least tech-savvy to jump in and get started.

You can customize every part to reflect the learning in front of you — organizing ideas visually, reflecting on emerging interests, and creating pieces you’re proud to share with families and colleagues.

This isn’t just about Canva.
It’s about the kind of educator you’re becoming — one who leads with intention, slows down to reflect, and uses documentation to co-learn alongside children.

INTENTIONAL DESIGN - WITH YOU IN MIND

BUT I'M NOT A

Canva is not just for making things look pretty.
When used intentionally, it becomes your thinking partner — a space to:

  • See patterns across play
  • Organize your educator notes
  • Make planning visual
  • Reflect on what children are exploring

You don't need fancy skills.

Good. You don’t have to be.

You just need time to explore — and a guide who gets what you do.

MEET YOUR GUIDE, VERONICA

Hi, I’m Veronica Green — early childhood educator, college instructor, and creator of Cultivating Confidence. I’ve spent over 10 years exploring what it means to teach with reflection, responsiveness, and creativity.

I’m also a parent to a neurodivergent child, and I know what it’s like to feel overwhelmed, unsure, and stuck.

My work helps educators like you:
  • Build confidence in your practice
  • Use digital tools like Canva with intention
  • Reconnect with the why behind your role

I created this series to show you what’s possible — and to give you time to reflect, think, and grow. No pressure. No perfection. Just meaningful steps forward.
