Jocelyn Manzanarez is on a passionate mission to share the power of music and movement with early childhood educators. Jocelyn is the owner of Musically Minded.

She has written and recorded 100s of children's songs as well as created a curriculum, Circle Time Success, designed for classroom teachers to use at circle time. Both are used in childcare settings throughout the United States with great success.
