Raise a Confident, Talkative Toddler Through Play

As a former elementary school teacher turned stay-at-home mom, I make language learning simple, playful, and doable for real life.

Welcome to a mama community built on one simple belief: our little ones are more capable than we think. Here, we keep it playful, we start early, and we cheer each other on as we set our babies up for success through everyday moments.

At Words With Mama, we believe everyday play is the most powerful way to help babies and toddlers grow their language and confidence. We give moms simple, practical tools to make learning feel natural, fun, and stress-free.

That is why we gather a few times each month in a mama-only space where you can step away, connect with other moms, and focus on one powerful topic at a time. During these workshops, we interact, learn, and practice strategies until you master the topic of the day. Then you return home equipped with new skills and often hands-on tools to bring the learning to life with your little one.

From Teacher to Mama Mentor

Viviana is a former dual-language elementary school teacher with 8 plus years of teaching experience, rated as a Highly Effective teacher throughout her entire teaching career. Her innovative, hands-on approach earned her class statewide recognition when they were chosen out of all of New York to have their work featured at the U.S. Capitol Christmas Tree — celebrated on FOX 5, News 12, newspapers, and radio, honored with a proclamation from the Suffolk County Executive and Board of Education.

Now a stay-at-home mom, Viviana blends her Montessori-inspired, holistic approach with real-life parenting. She believes babies and toddlers are far more capable than we often think, and her own daughter is living proof of the power of play. Today, instead of teaching students, she teaches moms — equipping them with the tools, confidence, and community to step into their role as their child’s very best teacher.
