Play is the work
Children learn letters, numbers, and big feelings best with their hands busy and their imaginations switched on.

Hi, I’m Robyn!
Early Childhood Educator · Curriculum Creator · Founder of RFTS Preschool
I spent decades running my own home daycare, planning real days for real children. Now I create the hands-on lessons and printables I always wished I had, so preschool teachers, homeschool parents, and daycare providers can spend less time planning and more time teaching.
A little planning, a lot of learning.

My story
From my daycare table to your classroom.
For decades my home was a busy, joyful daycare. Every morning started with a plan, and every plan had to work for a room full of children at different ages and stages. That is where I learned what really holds attention: hands-on activities, simple routines, and themes children can get excited about.
Along the way I served on my state board and founded a local support network for child care providers, because I know how much teachers and providers carry. Today I pour all of that into RFTS Preschool, creating lesson sets, centers, games, and printables that are ready the moment you print them.
Every resource is built for real days: busy mornings, mixed ages, and children who learn best by doing.

My favorite helpers
Tested by my grand-gifts.
My granddaughters are my very best testers. If an activity keeps them giggling, building, and asking for one more turn, it earns a spot in the shop.
That is the same joy I hope you see in your classroom, homeschool, or daycare every day.
What I believe
Learning should feel like play.
These three ideas guide every lesson I make.
Low prep, high impact
Your time matters. Resources should be quick to print, simple to set up, and easy to teach from.
Made for real days
Mixed ages, short attention spans, and busy schedules are normal. Every activity is designed to fit them.
