Our Editorial Team

PreschoolRocks.com was founded with a simple belief: every family deserves access to high-quality early childhood education content, completely free. Every article on this site is written, reviewed, or approved by our editorial team — educators, parents, and subject-matter experts who have worked directly with preschool-aged children.

Stacey Lloyd — Founder & Executive Editor

Stacey Lloyd founded PreschoolRocks.com in Napa Valley, California, after years working directly with preschool-aged children in community education programs. Her background spans hands-on early childhood program coordination, curriculum development, and a deep conviction that the gap between professional early childhood education resources and what is freely available to ordinary families is both real and correctable.

As Executive Editor, Stacey has shaped every section of the site — from the original activity guides to research-backed parenting guides published today. Her editorial philosophy has remained consistent: content must be practical enough to use on a Tuesday morning, grounded in developmental reality, and completely free of charge for every family who needs it.

Stacey covers: Activities, Crafts, Games, Projects, Adventures, Parenting, Kindergarten Readiness, Decorating, Songs, Halloween, and all Holiday sections.

Kati Chevaux, M.S. — Nutrition Scientist & Writer

Kati Chevaux holds a Master's degree in Nutrition Science and brings professional experience from the federal government food industry — including regulatory and applied nutrition work. Her approach to preschooler nutrition is evidence-based and relentlessly practical: she understands that the gap between what nutritional research recommends and what actually happens at a real family's dinner table is significant, and she writes for the real table. Her work has been published in parenting magazines and industry newsletters.

Kati covers: All Nutrition content — healthy eating guides, meal planning, food pyramids, picky eater strategies, pediatric dietary guidelines, and food safety.
