About KinderJam

El Brown,
KinderJam Founder

Our Rockin' Parents Say...

"I have watched my daughter grow so much since starting KinderJam practices her counting and dance moves in the mirror at home."

"I haven't talked to my grandson a single time on the phone since he left that he hasn't mentioned KinderJam during our conversation. KinderJam is now part of coming to Grandma and Grandpa's house. Thanks for such a wonderful
program, it really helped
him develop his speech and
social skills and he thought
he was just having fun."

El Brown, the creator of KinderJam® , is a wife, mother, and teacher, who holds a Bachelor of Science in Elementary Education and a Masters of Science in Early Childhood Education. Prior to leaving the traditional classroom setting, El served as an Elementary and Early Childhood Educator in both the United States and Department of Defense Dependent Schools (DoDDS) on military installations in Yokosuka, Japan and Seoul, South Korea, for nearly a decade. While serving Military students in Korea, she met and married a Soldier. Some years later, her life was further enriched by the birth of her son. After becoming a Military spouse and mom, El made it her personal and professional goal to advocate and provide enrichment for Early Childhood Education and Military children. Being an Army wife, El understands the unique needs of families that proudly serve our country. With this knowledge she sought to develop a program that would empower military spouses by providing them with a completely mobile career option while enriching the lives of the young learners in our community.

KinderJam® 's development was inspired by El's search for quality and affordable activities that could hold her toddler's attention and expose him to useful tools for future academic and social success. KinderJam® focuses on introducing and reinforcing preschool skills using upbeat contemporary music, creative movement, and a variety of fun, colorful, and exciting manipulatives. Since December 2008, KinderJam has grown from an activity taught in her home for her young son during her husband’s deployment to Iraq, to an international Early Childhood enrichment program that has enriched the lives of thousands of young children in five countries.

El Brown is a knowledgeable and charismatic presenter and will provide your military parents with a relevant and useful workshop conducted from the perspective of a Military Spouse who has successfully navigated through the ever changing lifestyle of a military parent. El finds great pleasure and reward in working to empower the parents in the military community that she has served and been a member of for over a decade. Her passion for Early Childhood Education and Military Families motivates and inspires the parents she has the privilege of assisting.
