Hi, My name is Ruby, and I'm the creator of Edkids Home. I am also a mom of 2 beautiful kids and a wife to a fantastic husband.
Story
Creating digital prints has been my passion for a long time. I edited manga (Japanese comic) images in high school and played with Photoshop as a hobby. However, while focusing on University, my attention shifted from these hobbies.
After completing my undergrad, I became comfortable with the 9-5 lifestyle. I tucked away my dreams of developing and sharing digital art and prints. Eventually, I got married and had two beautiful children. My children then became a new source of strength and inspiration.
I want to raise my children to speak multiple languages. I want to become an even better role model for them. With this goal, I started creating bilingual educational activities for my children to enjoy learning while having lots of fun playing.
My passion is fuelled constantly by the rewarding aspect of designing and creating activities that eventually allow me to witness my children's genuine desire for learning and mastery.
I want to share my love with all parents, teachers, caregivers, and children worldwide. And so, this is how the Edkids Home journey began.
Edkids Home
The name Edkids Home means “Educating kids at home.” Home is not just a building, but a safe space where children can learn and be happy with the things and people they love.
I have a solid desire to nourish my kids for the love of learning. I am a mom who wants to share my experiences and ideas for creating fun & engaging activities for kids. I will also provide my resources in multiple languages since multilingualism is in high demand.
I work in the Project management field with professional project management (PMP)certificate in the corporate world. I also worked in Process Engineering departments which helped improve processes and efficiency throughout many procedures. Therefore, my strengths are creating projects and making processes more efficient.
With the skills I've gained in the corporate world, I could help other moms to break down complicated procedures into easy-to-follow steps. We can juggle many things without feeling too exhausted and stressed out daily. We are all just trying to do our best for what is for our children and, at the same time, seek balance in our lives.
Your children can take advantage of the extra resources available on this site, irrespective of whether they go to regular schools or are homeschooled. There is a wide range of materials available here, including bilingual Chinese language learning resources and enjoyable educational games for children.
