Consultant

Rae loves sharing what she has learned with others, particularly those who can make the biggest difference in children’s lives. One of her favorite consulting experiences was working – twice – with the Sesame Street Research Department. (The first time was also one of the most nerve-wracking!) Additionally, she has consulted for, among others:

  • Head Start Bureau
  • Centers for Disease Control
  • President’s Council on Physical Fitness and Sports
  • Nickelodeon’s Blue’s Clues
  • Gymboree
  • Chicago Children’s Museum
  • Canadian Broadcast Corporation
  • Hasbro
  • Mattel
  • Nike
  • Bright Horizons

The Kellogg Company asked Rae to revise “Kids in Action,” a booklet of movement/fitness activities for parents and children to do together. And she created a fitness program, Go Smart, for the National Head Start Association.

Hired by Northwestern State University and Child Care Education Institute to write online courses for early childhood professionals, Rae is now creating her own.
