Lisa Murphy
About Lisa Murphy: Lisa is the founder and CEO of Ooey Gooey, Inc. where her mission is to assist in the
transformation of the industry of early childhood education by offering three specific things: one) the
best workshops and trainings; two) the most up to date materials and resources; and 3) insightful
conversations and connections through the power of social media. Lisa presents hundreds of workshops
each year to both domestic and international audiences on various topics related to early childhood
education.
Keynote: WHAT IF TODAY WAS THEIR ONLY DAY?
In this motivational keynote address Lisa shares the powerful story of her first day of school. Through
active and engaging storytelling Lisa brings you back to her first day, taking you on a grand tour of Miss
Mary’s Nursery School. And, in the style she has become famous for, she shares many
observations, lessons and anecdotes about how early childhood has changed along the way. Lisa will
share the sights sounds and smells of the place where, at the young age of three, she decided to
become a teacher and identifies the how, and why, that one day solidified her decision to become an
educator. This inspiring keynote gets participants back in touch with their personal how and why. It gets
them excited and motivated and it will get them thinking: If it WAS their only day, what will they
remember?

The latest brain research reminds us of the importance of creating responsive,
engaging and stress-free environments. Nowhere is this more important than
our infant and toddler rooms! While this session offers hands-on exploration

main focus is on making sure the adults working with our wee-ones realize

nurturing those strong bonds of attachment. Core Competency #5

The brain is the CEO of the body and therefore, it governs our senses,

a life of wellness, we must examine what it takes to enrich brain development
from the earliest point in time. This session will answer three critical
questions: Are the brains of children today the same as they were 25 years
ago? Do the brains of children today get the necessary stimulation required
for optimal outcomes? And, can a brain that has been disadvantaged by
genetics or life experiences be enriched?
