HEY, Play People!
TEACHING OTHERS ABOUT PLAY HAS NEVER BEEN EASIER!
The Play Provisions Club will help you advocate and teach others about play by providing you with monthly provisions to take the stress and headache out of communicating the benefits of play to the adults outside your play-filled walls!
Join the Club!
Imagine if you could stop pulling your hair out trying to get others 'on board' with play?
ANY OF THESE HAIR-PULLING ISSUES SOUND FAMILIAR?
"I believe in play, our philosophy is play based but I am having a hard time getting teachers on board."
"The parents pull their children from my program to send them to *real school*"
"I can't seem to get across to the at-home-caregivers that play IS learning."
"The parents/at-home-caregivers don't read ANYTHING I send out."
"The parents/at-home-caregivers want me to teach the ABCs and 123s and think I should be sending worksheets home."
"The at-home-caregivers want structure. They think play is a free for all."
"My coteacher says they believe in play but they still do really long calendar time and a lot of teacher directed activities."
Here's why getting others "ON BOARD" is challenging...
Teachers are overworked and stretched thin with lack of prep and planning time let alone time to take in professional development.
It is more comfortable to stay status quo than to go against the traditional ways of teaching young children.
Parents/at-home-caregivers are stressed and stretched thin with work and home responsibilities.
Parents/at-home-caregivers haven't been given the information in small, easy to digest ways so they can see the magic of play!
And the biggest challenge... people aren't receptive if they aren't ready to change their mind on something
It doesn't have to be this way!
In this fast paced, tech ridden, digital world, parents/at-home-caregivers and teachers are overwhelmed with the amount of info coming at them. By harnessing the power of short-form content and simplified, easy-to-understand play information, we can feed anyone we want to "get on board with play" information over time to make them go "AHA!!!! I get it now!"
Using the power of human psychology when it comes to change, Kristen has designed the information in a way that will give stakeholders a chance to dive in deep on one topic each month so EVERYTHING they see that month relates to the play topic at hand!

👇 HERE IS WHAT YOU GET EACH MONTH WHEN YOU JOIN 👇
Monthly Topics
Each month we will introduce a new topic to your staff, teachers and/or parents/at-home-caregivers. A topic focus each month will get people's attention!

You Will Get...
Monthly Social Media Templates
Let's face it, all of your staff, co-teachers and at-home-caregivers use social media. Use the templates we provide to bring attention to the monthly topic. These are designed in Canva and you can use the template 'as-is' or change the colors and theme to match your own brand!
What You Get...
RESEARCH DIGESTS
Ever hear "where is the research on that?" We've got you covered. Emily Clark found the research and articles, summarized it for you, and gave you key quotes! You can use this information in your documentation, emails, newsletter and on social media! Maybe even put it in your tour packet when enrolling new families!
What You Get...
Monthly Trainings
You will get an on-demand training each month on the topic that can be done solo or with a group! A PD certificate will be included. The trainings are about 30 minutes long so they are easy to fit in when you don't have a lot of time but need to get the info to your staff quickly!
What You Get...
A LETTER TO SEND HOME
Kristen will craft up a letter to send home to the at-home-caregivers that will describe why (or why not) we do things in our play based programs. If the monthly theme is exclusionary play, Kristen will describe why kids engage in that type of play, how the teachers support this type of play and how they can support their child at home.

NEWSLETTER TEMPLATE
Monthly newsletters are a great way to show parents what is coming up and keep them notified of important dates and reminders. They are also a great way to sneak in a little more information about the renegade play topic of the month! This template is created in Canva so you can plug in your info where it is needed and send it home!
Virtual PD EXPERIENCE #4
"Joining the Play Provisions Club has been an incredible asset in my journey as an advocate for play-based learning. I love the ready-to-use templates and the no-fluff trainings, all designed to help me and my colleagues embrace and implement play at the heart of our teaching. The resources I get each month has empowered me to effectively communicate the critical importance of play in early childhood development, transforming not only my approach but also influencing my entire school's educational strategies. Thanks to Kristen and the Play Provisions Club, I feel supported and inspired every step of the way!"

Kristen's Daily Check-In Guide ($24 value)
Kristen used the daily check-in as a way to check for understanding and welcome in the children each day so she didn't steal play later. In this guide, you will get all of Kristen's tried and true daily check-ins that she (and the other teachers) used in their preschool classroom every day.
✅Literacy (letter recognition, letter formation, letter sounds, name practice)
✅Math concepts (number recognition, one-to-one correspondence, counting, patterns, colors, shapes, measuring and more)
✅ Fine and Gross Motor Skills (throwing, jumping, balancing, cutting, pinching, rolling, tweezing and more)
✅Questions of the Day (questions like 'how many pockets do you have today?', 'what is your favorite flavor ice cream?') These questions help you to get to know each of your students and are opportunities to graph and ask more or less questions!
BONUS 2
Kristen's Renegade Research Roundup ($97 value)
Ever hear "where is the research on that?" We've got you covered. Emily Clark did a ton of research roundup for Kristen's book and Kristen has taken the time to compile most of it for you (35 articles and studies) so you can hand it to anyone who doesn't believe that play is learning!
