Steady classrooms start with steady leadership.
A system that helps early childhood leaders run calm, consistent programs — without hiring a consultant to tell them what's wrong.

Meet Dr. Rosie
More than 35 years in education. General education teacher. Special education teacher. Founder and owner of Kids Play Today, where she spent years as both teacher and director and still works alongside the leadership team.
Dr. Rosie built the Anchor Framework after years of watching the same patterns repeat — talented teachers struggling without support, leaders giving guidance that didn't stick, and classrooms that felt harder than they needed to be. Not because the people weren't trying. Because the systems weren't strong enough to hold.
Get in touchThe Anchor Framework
Four anchors. One system. Immediate clarity.
Most classroom challenges are not caused by individual behaviors — they are shaped by the systems surrounding them. The Anchor Framework gives leaders a consistent way to walk into any classroom, see what needs attention, and respond clearly.
Supervision
Where adults stand, what they see, and how they prevent problems early.
Routine
The structure and flow of the day — transitions, pacing, rhythm.
Language
How adults communicate — clear, consistent, and calm.
Support
How and when adults step in to steady the room.
When the anchors are held consistently, classrooms become more predictable, teachers receive clearer guidance, and leaders spend less time repeating the same expectations.
Four volumes, more than 300 pages, 12 reproducible coaching tools, and a Role Guide for every age group.
Resources
Tools for ECE leaders ready to change their classrooms.
The Anchor Framework
A complete leadership system — four volumes covering foundations, installation, observation and coaching tools, and role guides for every age group.
Training
Live and virtual workshops for ECE leaders and program teams.

Coming Soon"I didn't build this framework because I had all the answers. I built it because I kept asking the same question: What would actually help the teacher standing in that classroom, the child sitting in front of her, and the leader trying to support them both?"— Dr. Rosie Schoepp
