In honor of the national Week of the Young Child  being celebrated across the country, YEAH YEAH Out Loud, a children’s self esteem program for use in early learning environments (3-8 year olds)  is “launching” its’ home grown (Vancouver, WA) efforts.  The core of this unique program compared to others is two fold:

 1) YYOL™ sends the message early as a foundational building block that when the going gets tough, you are your own best “cheer” leader; vs. a fix it later remedy.

 2) The YEAH YEAH Out Loud theme helps the child realize the “cheer” leader lies within. 

All young children need and deserve high-quality early learning experiences that will prepare them for life, and YYOL is taking this great opportunity to do its’ part to help young children.

As the daughter of a hard-of-hearing and visually impaired father, Kathy had to be LOUD about everything. Her spirited, can-do attitude, nurtured as a child, blossomed with marriage and motherhood. “Being a mom is the best job I ever had” says Kathy.

 When the kids graduated and moved away to college, I thought my “Yeah Yeah” days were over. Being the “on-line Mom” I ended up fixing things from printers to friend issues; as well as just being available on the other end of a late night check in to say “Hey”. While they used common acronyms to chat, I found my own; YYOL! They could “hear” me!

 Then a special invitation came. It was a call from our “son”, then a college freshman, who invited me to be at “Mom’s weekend”. Being the “cheer” leader I am, I felt bad thinking I didn’t have any school colors/spirit items for his college.

 It was this experience that was the inspiration which led to the creation of Kiddazy® and Hur-Ray (a concept that evolved into a full blown self esteem program) who have become symbols to represent that there is always someone there to “cheer” kids on!

 Kiddazy® and Hur-Ray are not limited to one school or group, but their faces say ”Yeah Yeah Out Loud” for those that need encouragement, regardless of nationality, ability or status.

 Through Hur-Ray (the sun) and Kiddazy® (a flower) Kathy found the voice to spread YEAH YEAH everywhere.
