Bio section
Hi, I’m Ashley Ventrice, the founder of Ashley Ventrice & Co—a space where parents of toddlers can find practical parenting tips, playroom décor ideas, toddler crafts, and emotional support for everyday family life. As a child development specialist, podcast host, and mom, I understand the joys and challenges of raising little ones, and I’m passionate about helping families create calm, connected, and playful homes.
Through my toddler parenting podcast, I share relatable stories, expert-backed insights, and real solutions for common struggles like tantrums, routines, and emotional regulation. On the blog, you’ll find playroom organization tips, DIY décor inspiration, and creative crafts for toddlers that spark learning through play.
At Ashley Ventrice & Co, my mission is simple: to empower parents with tools, resources, and encouragement so you can raise happy, emotionally healthy, and confident kids—while also finding more peace and balance in your own parenting journey.
Whether you’re looking for toddler behavior tips, Montessori-inspired playroom design, fun crafts, or parenting podcast episodes, you’re in the right place.
My Mission
At Ashley Ventrice & Co, I believe every parent deserves support, guidance, and inspiration. Whether you’re looking for toddler parenting advice, playroom décor tips, DIY crafts, or expert-backed podcast episodes, my goal is to help you raise happy, confident, and emotionally healthy children—while also finding peace and balance for yourself.
My career path has always been rooted in creativity, education, and family life. I began with a degree in Marketing and Business and spent years working in the fashion industry. But after feeling called to education, I went back to school to earn my teaching degree (P–3 certification).
When my second child was born, I resigned from teaching to pursue a new passion—early childhood intervention and development. I became a certified Child Development Specialist, later opening my own childcare center, where I helped families build strong foundations for their children. Due to health challenges, I eventually sold the business, but my mission to empower parents has only grown stronger.
Parenting toddlers is beautiful—but it can also feel overwhelming. That’s why I created the Ashley Ventrice Podcast, a space for parents to hear practical toddler parenting strategies, emotional regulation tools, play-based learning tips, and relatable stories from real life. Each episode is designed to help you feel less alone and more confident in your parenting journey.
Coming soon, I’ll be offering parent coaching and mini courses on some of the most common toddler topics:
• Toddler tantrums & emotional regulation
• Creating calm daily routines
• Playroom setup & organization
• Fostering independence with gentle structure
These courses will give you actionable steps, research-backed strategies, and printable tools to make family life smoother and more joyful.
