Ryan McCoy (he/they)

Our Story

Sing, Rhyme, and Play with Ms. Christina started in Spring 2020 as our family’s quarantine project. It came about as a way to generate early literacy content that I — and librarians, teachers, parents, and caregivers — could easily use online or at home with young kids. Sing, Rhyme, and Play content draws from my experience as a teacher and former Library Associate in the children’s department of the Washington DC Public Library. The songs, rhymes, and games are free to use for educational purposes and free from harmful origins.
