      A new and exciting program! I am a new songwriter for young children and have worked as an early childhood specialist for more than three decades. I would love you to have a look at my debut website which features 19 of my 200+ original compositions. The songs cater to all the interests of young children and are fun, educational and very engaging. Great for speech and language, movement and coordination! Wonderful for early literacy and reading. Learning masked as fun! Please feel free to share on your page. www.missmaureen.com http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7iPvvZEWV68
