RE: Professor Frisky von Onion Bagel, S. D. (Super Doggy) 4 Disc Children’s Collection (includes: 12 original songs; 12 original books [eBook version] which has the ONLY story of Santa Claus directly involved in education [based on our research throughout the English language] that "any preschool child" can understand and appreciate; 1 DVD of Super Doggy’s poem; and 6 Audio Books).


If you’ve taken an opportunity to review our corporate website http://funfactoryeducationcorp.com you will note that I am a strong and passionate advocate of Preschool Emotional Literacy. After nearly three decades in childcare (owning as many as seven centers…now three) and watching the changes from one generation to the next (I have watched some of my first children grow up and return with their own children), I became convinced that this was something I needed to research. Well, to my surprise I found that Emotional Literacy was a pretty hot topic globally, particularly as it related to the preschool age child and what is referred to as the "early childhood education" sector. Unfortunately, it was being "talked about & written about" more than actually being carried out in real life circumstances with preschoolers, and on a daily basis. Academia was aware, all sorts of "evidence based studies" existed, and a number of books written, BUT no real "everyday" child applications that would convert or translate well from child care center to child care center.


In 2007 I decided to stop just investigating & studying this subject and to start doing something about it—Fun Factory Education was born. I created an entire Preschool Curriculum [2 Volumes, 1000+ pages] via the concept of Gravity Free University, which incorporates the use of an entire EnDUCATE™ Pre-School Curriculum System that includes our Professor Frisky von Onion Bagel, S. D. (Super Doggy) EnDUCATE™ Pre-School Curriculum and Patent Pending Professor Frisky von Onion Bagel, S. D. (Super Doggy) Emotion Activity Center, Songs, Dance, Books linked to the entire story and experience of Gravity Free University and its characters, Plush Dog and Arm Puppet Teaching aides, Poetry DVD, Audio Books, Skilled Activity Work Sheets, Posters and a host of items connected to this pioneering system.


Upon reading some of the quotes from some very credible scholars (a few found on our website’s Home Page—but please read the entire page) you will begin to understand my dedication to this "cause." NO child should have to spend their entire life saddled with the very common inability to make appropriate and positive emotional choices, just because they were never taught how to develop the literacy to do so at an age early enough to provide a solid foundation that would guide their "emotional challenges and exposures" as they grew and matured. We often hear about "Emotional Intelligence" commonly referred to with adults, yet, if we just use common sense and deductive reasoning, it would be clear, that in order to reach any reasonable level of "emotional intelligence" one would certainly require a foundation of "emotional literacy" at an earlier stage, e.g., before one could hope to achieve excellence in reading & comprehension at higher grade levels, it would be common sense that they first learned how to read and comprehend at the most basic level. There's no mystery to understanding this important connection, and how it can serve our children.

So many trials and tribulations in a teen or an adult’s life can be traced back to their "emotional literacy"
(e.g., early pregnancy, bullying, drug use, inappropriate behavior in general, breaking the law [Read some observations from a Prison Therapist at: http://funfactoryeducationcorp.com/ProfObservations.html ], bad marriages and relationships, etc.).

What is Emotional Literacy?

So, WHY this Product? I wanted to "start somewhere," i.e., by introducing my character, Professor Frisky/Super Doggy, to the public and slowly gaining their support—with the ultimate goal of having my full curriculum used in child care centers in as many states as possible.  Our 4-Disc Children’s Collection actually has been extracted for use apart from my overall system for a couple of reasons: (1) I needed a commercial product that could make an impression on children (and parents) without their having to experience the entire system in an actual preschool setting; and (2) It does not mention "emotional literacy," only uses some of the techniques of it—and it is fun, wholesome entertainment that will not offend a single human, of that I am certain.

Finally, just because the term Emotional Literacy has been used throughout this writing, don’t [not for one moment] think that FUN has been sacrificed for these darling preschoolers. I’m NOT a scientist or part of Academia—I am a child educator, more specifically, preschool children. Of the hundreds of preschool children exposed to this character, his songs, poem, books and Emotion Activity Center—not a single child has hesitated to repeat their involvement over and over again. They "GET IT" and are having fun and in a subtle, age appropriate manner, they are being taught to develop "life supporting emotional literacy techniques," something ALL children NEED, regardless of race, religion and socioeconomic circumstance.

The young preschoolers are counting on US to show them the way…and we must do so before the "outside influences" grab hold with a firmer grip. We must let this wind of passion for this subject matter blow across America, Canada and anywhere that the English language is spoken (until I can have it translated into other languages) until every parent of a preschool age child understands that the importance of their child’s "emotional literacy" is as important as their child’s overall health and well-being…it ALL connects at some point, so we must make certain that their foundation is solid.

I thank you all in advance for your support.


Sincerely,


Marilyn Lewis
