About the Guest

Cara is a the passionate mastermind behind the Collaborative Parenting Methodology™, a birth-to-five, soul and science based framework that empowers parents and teachers to maximize children's early learning while raising fantastic human beings who succeed in school and life.


While teaching preschool and Kindergarten, she noticed her students knew their ABC’s and 123’s, but struggled with their social, emotional, and interpersonal skills. At drop off, parents would say, “We’re so glad that you are their first teacher”, but she knew she wasn’t -- their parents were! This realization led to her professional pivot as an Early Childhood Trainer, Parent Educator and Coach. 


Cara has embraced her role as thought leader and fierce advocate for Pandemic parents raising the COVID Generation (GEN-C). 


Through keynotes, teacher training, and her podcast, Transforming the Toddler Years, she’s teaching the 5 Executive Functioning Skills kids need to recover lost milestones and navigate our ever-changing world.


Cara has Bachelor degrees in American Sign Language (ASL) and Linguistics and a Master’s degree in Education. She lives in southern Vermont with her two nearly grown-and-flown daughters and a husband who is her biggest cheerleader. Ready to raise world ready kids who change the world?
