Shelley Staton has been a stay at home mom faced with two genetic diseases in her household, caring for two children under four years of age and is proudly celebrating one very successful year of business!

(PRWEB) August 1, 2007 -- In 2005, Shelley Staton gave birth to her second son who was born with Cystic Fibrosis and Liver Disease. While her son was spending his first 100 days of life in the NICU at Children's Mercy Hospital, her husband was diagnosed with the Neuromuscular Dystrophy, Charcot Marie Tooth Disease.

In a time when most people might quit, she started a non-profit organization called Caring Families for Cystic Fibrosis to raise money for local families and purchased the local rights to SpanishFUN, a business that is truly the first of it's kind. SpanishFUN offers activities to introduce children to a second language. The fun a relaxed class setting is designed to keep children interested while stimulating their learning experience. The flexible monthly curriculum includes an introduction to basic words, names, numbers, colors, animals, days, months and more. She understands that preschoolers appreciate having fun while learning, so the program includes the use of songs, games, stories, puppets and other fun activities to keep them excited. While looking for tools to introduce her own child to Spanish, she discovered the Boca Beth teaching tools . After purchasing CD's and DVD's, she wanted to expand his Spanish experience and began the search for a program for her own 2 year old child. At this point, she decided to purchase the Kansas City area SpanishFUN business. Starting from scratch, SpanishFUN is now in 20 schools, 3 coffee houses, 2 fitness centers and a frozen custard shop. SpanishFUN also offers private lessons upon request. Wow! What a difference a year makes. For more information please visit www.SpanishForPreschool.com or call 913-780-2589.
