I’m a passionate speaker and workshop facilitator dedicated to empowering educators, parents, and communities to harness the power of play.

Since 2001, I have been the owner of Barron Park Playschool in Palo Alto. I work both in and out of the classroom and have an in-depth understanding of the ways in which children perceive and interact with their world.  I’m an advocate for keeping play in childhood.

I specialize in communicating the value of creativity and play in peoples’ lives – both for adults and children. I offer engaging sessions on play, creativity, and the Positive Approach to working with children.
