Stacy Benge
Early Childhood Author and Speaker
Stacy approaches early learning with practicality and common sense. Her passions include whole child development, physical development, language development, emergent literacy, and child-led play to build solid foundations for school and life success.
Stacy's presentations stand firm on the truth that children learn best through authentic, simple experiences.
