Kristen Pope
 Early Childhood Educator
Family Services Counselor

I create early childhood learning essentials and curriculum for parents, child care providers and learning centers. My unique and rounded curriculum equips parents with the necessary tools to supplement their child's education beyond the classroom, before they even reach Kindergarten. I teach child care providers high-level engagement techniques that help them transform their classrooms into interactive learning environments.

I  decided to design my curriculum because I was unsatisfied with the way centers were introducing learning to young children.  For infants and toddlers, it was unstructured, and the bit that was structured was "sit here, color this apple red".  That bothered me and I wasn't going for it any longer.  I wanted to give children the experience to explore freely and not be bound to learning how things "should be" but rather explore and see first hand what things are and see that apples don't always have to be red.  They can be green, yellow, and so forth. Raising two small children in childcare centers, I wanted to make sure that I was able to allow them to discover on their own.  That was huge to me.  With my curriculum, little learners will be able to do that.
