“I shouldn’t have to defend play for children any more than I should have to defend their eating, sleeping, and breathing!”

– Rae Pica

About Rae

My early childhood education work – whether it’s in the form of keynotes, consulting, coaching, books, articles, or podcast interviews – is primarily dedicated to the understanding, now confirmed through brain research, that active learning equals authentic learning. We have to respect and teach to the whole child!
