She designed and built Y Grow Up in Weston, FL and North Miami Beach, FL. Viki has a Master’s degree in Early Childhood Education from Boston University as well over 30 years of experience in teaching, coordinating and directing mommy & me and preschool programs. She is also a wife, mother of two and a proud grandmother.
Viki spent several years researching educational programs and children’s museums. Y Grow Up was created using the best ideas taken from around the world: in a miniature form that children can relate to.
In 2015, Y Grow Up was transformed into an online Educational Toy Store, extending our service from Florida to the rest of the world. YGrowUp.net keeps the same interesting concepts from the former physical location to an on-line environment where parents and guardians will have the opportunity to shop online for interactive toys. Whether your child wants to shop in a miniature grocery store or play dress up at the civic center, as a police, fireman, nurse, doctor, or painting like Picasso getting messy in the art area or developing their Einstein potential in the mind boggling thinking skill area , or just being an adorable little toddler. You and your child will enjoy navigating through the website. Viki works directly with toy manufacturers, so you can use the virtual activity center to choose toys based on specific skills, ages and needs. Viki works very hard in choosing the best educational toys, and providing innovative ideas from professionals in the fields of psychology, occupational therapy, and education with articles, blogs, and videos. This time, creating a book for children helping parents during these difficult times of coronavirus to be able to explain this pandemic to children in a way they can understand without getting stressed out. The book emphasizes looking for the positive side of spending time with mommy and daddy and safe practices when going outside. Children are sponges of learning but also sponges of stress.
