HELLO!
I'm Devon Meves a curriculum consultant and educational content creator. I have an M.Ed in Teaching and Curriculum and a B.S. in Art Education. I taught K-6 art in public school before transitioning to museum education and then to consulting. I started U Ready, Teddy? in 2017 after becoming a mom and was looking for a creative outlet for myself and a way to share my ideas with other parents. I hope this website can help your family incorporate more creativity, learning and play in your daily lives and inspire your little ones.

I believe creativity is one of the most important skills we can nurture within our children. Anyone can be creative. Children should be given the freedom to have fun, experiment, make choices, discover and take risks. It is our job as parents, teachers and caregivers to give them the opportunities to be creative in a judgement-free environment and to surround them with love and inspiration.
