Meet Ms. Dez
For the past 15+ years, Ms. Dez (Desiree Stroumbas) has been transforming children's lives through her social emotional learning program Giggles n Groovin™, which led to the development of the Play, Say & Practice Character Curriculum. The easy to follow SEL lessons in the curriculum have made it a classroom favorite, as well as a valuable tool for Parents teaching from home.
Dez's laughter and love for teaching is contagious, which is why she is a highly sought after Instructional Coach teaching workshops and breakout sessions throughout the Southeast. When she isn't traveling, you can find her featured in the PBC library system or mentoring moms in ways to help tame the tantrums.
