As the ooey gooey lady®, Lisa presents over 150 workshops each year to audiences across the country on various topics related to early childhood education, specifically how to be more play-based in the classroom. She has been featured in various publications including Child Care Business Exchange, Parents and Pre-K Today. Lisa has authored four books and has created dozens of teacher training DVD’s. A highly sought after keynoter for educational conferences, Lisa uses humor and real life anecdotes to reach and engage her audiences. Lisa’s standing room only seminars have become nationally known for their information, humor, inspiration and energetic delivery. Frequently asked if she has ever been a stand up comic, Lisa practices what she preaches and continues to blend the laughter with the learning! Lisa’s current project is assisting educators with linking all aspects of a hands-on, play-based, Ooey Gooey® philosophy to state mandated educational standards. She is dedicated to proving that playing is, in fact, "getting them ready" for school!
It is with great joy and pride that she recently announced the opening of her first Ooey Gooey® Playschool in the Rochester, New York area, the first of many early childhood educational environments dedicated to reinforce the importance of play in the lives of children.
