With over 20 years of experience, Susie has become a trusted leader in early learning, best known for creating the Raising Bright Early Learners System, a play-based framework that empowers parents, caregivers, and educators to support children’s growth with confidence.

Susie shares how her work as an educator, daycare owner, and parent inspired her mission: to make early learning simple, joyful, and accessible for every family. Through hands-on, play-based approaches, she has helped thousands of children develop essential foundational skills—while also giving parents the practical strategies they need to bring learning to life at home.
