Anti-bias & Anti-Racist Educational Programming, Coaching, & Custom Curriculums

About

With nearly three decades of experience in early childhood and elementary education, I’ve dedicated my career to helping educators and families create inclusive, engaging, and socially conscious learning environments. At the heart of my work is a belief in celebrating differences, embracing kindness, and equipping children to thrive in diverse communities. Through hands-on anti-bias curriculums, self-paced certification programs, and one-on-one coaching, I partner with schools, early childhood centers, and families to build classrooms that center equity, identity, and inclusion. Whether it’s through play-based learning, inquiry-driven projects, or everyday teaching strategies, my goal is to support educators in nurturing confident, curious, and compassionate young learners.

Who I Am

As an African American with Jewish heritage and a bisexual male, I bring a lived experience to my work that reflects the diverse world I want to help children understand and thrive in. I know what it means to live at the intersections of identity, and I believe early education can be a place where every child feels seen, valued, and empowered.

When I’m not working with educators and families, you can find me walking the beach or hiking in the woods, cooking plant-based meals, or listening to music that spans genres and cultures. I also practice Reiki as a form of grounding and healing. My greatest joy is spending time with my daughter Hazel and my partner Sabina—they are the heart of my why.

What I bring to this work:

  • 29+ years of experience as an early childhood and elementary educator
  • Deep expertise in play-based and inquiry-driven learning
  • Strong foundation in anti-bias and anti-racist education practices
  • Experienced curriculum designer for schools and early childhood programs
  • Skilled facilitator for parent and community workshops
  • Mentor to student teachers and interns from diverse college programs
  • Former independent school faculty board member
  • Committed advocate for neurodiverse learners and inclusive classroom libraries
  • Ability to meet educators and families where they are—with empathy and practical tools

“Celebrate Differences, Embracing Unity and Kindness, In 2025 and Beyond” April 2025

Presenter Victor Bradley: How do we honor children’s voices when they ask about the racial and gender realities of injustice, immigration, climate change, and food insecurity without traumatizing them with anxiety and fear. How do we support children in seeing themselves as activists and working to dismantle the inequities in their learning environment? How do we extend this support into the communities we serve? I gave 30 years of examples of working in early childhood on these crucial topics. I offered materials, books, ideas, slides, and strategies to take back with them.

“Teaching Strategies For Early Childhood Education, Part Two, April 2025

Presenter Victor Bradley: I began by asking how many languages you speak or if you’d like to learn any other languages. We met in home groups to discuss. Then we talked about our privilege. After many examples, we reconvened in small groups to discuss modeling kindness in the classroom and in the workplace. I presented the importance of diverse children’s books. We ended up being in teaching teams to review from August, which included teaching strategies that you have been able to do or not get to, and why. I met with each team to see how I could support them in this work.
