NICE TO MEET YOU
I'm Kristen RB Peterson
When I was teaching, I loved to travel to other programs to see what other educators are up to in their play based environments. Now, when I travel to speak, I oftentimes get to tour classrooms and programs to get new ideas and inspiration to share with others.
With the new technologies we have, we are able to peek inside other programs around the world! I decided to put together The Play Around the Globe Festival so that you can get a glimpse inside play based early childhood environments around the world! Buckle your seatbelts! You are in for a treat!
After founding a play and nature-based preschool and forest school in central Minnesota, I found a new passion. Spreading all the knowledge I have about play-based learning. With a background in Education and Early Childhood Education, I've been making significant contributions to the field. As host of The Play Based Learning Podcast and creator of The Camp Renegade Play Virtual Summit, I empower educators worldwide with innovative approaches to fostering developmentally appropriate learning experiences.
My upcoming book, impactful keynote addresses, and training sessions reflect my commitment to advocating for children's rights to play. I'm dedicated to inspiring early childhood audiences and getting others to let go of outdated educational practices.
