ULTIMATE Preschool Playbook

Practical Training for Today’s Preschool Classrooms Early childhood classrooms are more complex than ever. Children still need play, connection, and regulation—but many classroom strategies were designed for a different time and aren’t meeting the sensory, emotional, and developmental needs of today’s preschoolers. The Ultimate Preschool Playbook is practical, research-informed training for preschool teachers and early childhood educators who want calmer classrooms, engaged children, and strategies that work in real life. What Educators Get Inside the Playbook Short, on-demand video lessons on play-based learning, sensory and emotional regulation, movement, early red flags, and partnering with parents Practical classroom strategies that support regulation, executive function, and connection Tools that build teacher confidence and reduce burnout A supportive community of educators sharing real strategies and resources The Playbook Porch At the heart of the Playbook is the Playbook Porch—monthly live gatherings and ongoing discussions where educators talk through real classroom challenges, problem-solve with peers, and receive guidance they can use right away. Who We Are The Ultimate Preschool Playbook is led by Brenda Chilstrom, award-winning pediatric occupational therapist, and Katherine Walters, former school counselor and educator consultant. Together, we support teachers in building classrooms where regulation, connection, and play work together—so teaching feels aligned again.
