The Parenting Game
Jan. 18, 2022 7:15 a.m.
Christine Bright has over 20 years of experience working with children, parents, and families as a Child Care Professional, Family Advocate, and Certified Parent and Family Coach. Christine is an entrepreneur in her own right, starting and running a successful promotional company. She worked as a Child Care Professional and Family Advocate while managing her business. Christine worked 1:1 with families that were experiencing a wide range of problems. She also helped families navigate the steps needed to get appropriate services. Her success and positive results gave her the courage to sell her company, follow her heart, and assist families full time. Christine honed her skills with the invaluable training she received as a Therapeutic Foster Parent. She parented her foster child to become an emotionally stable and loving person, which led to a happy adoption. This success ignited a deep, profound passion in her. Christine learned from the Parent Management Training model, Love and Logic, Applied Behavior Analysis, and the Collaborative & Proactive Solutions model and from books by Brene Brown and Dr. Henry Cloud. She developed and perfected her strategies while working with families using her business, child development, and behavioral psychology knowledge. Then, wanting to help more families, Christine founded Parenting Game and authored her Parenting Playbook. She also produces and hosts a TV show and podcast to support parents. She delights in helping parents win by making their homes brighter and more peaceable. As CEO of Parenting Game, her company offers support to parents through Coaching and Consulting. She also partners with businesses by providing parenting support as an Employee Assistance Program benefit. When Christine isn’t reading the latest on brain science, she enjoys the outdoors and time with family. In addition, she donates her time mentoring at-risk children through programs like Schools of Hope. |

Prairie Music & Arts
Feb. 01, 2022 7:15 a.m.
Kari Walton is the founder and Executive Director of Prairie Music & Arts. She has degrees in Piano Performance and Pedagogy from Lawrence University and the University of Louisville and has taught music from early childhood to adults for over thirty years. She has led Prairie Music & Arts since 1999 and manages general operations, program development, fundraising, and outreach. A belief that the arts should be accessible to all, she has created grant projects and partnerships that have served youth with artistic experiences throughout the Dane County area.
It was during her time as a high school student at the University of North Carolina School of the Arts that Kari experienced the interconnectedness of the arts. In her words, “I was fortunate to experience musicians and artists from around the world who greatly shaped my teaching and approach to the arts. Whether it’s learning a musical instrument, drawing a picture, or taking part in a play, the arts fill us up as human beings, connect us, and give us the means to express ourselves. It is my hope that Prairie Music & Arts will offer our community positive and holistic moments for artistic exploration, personal growth, and collaboration.” |

Sun Prairie Explore Children’s Museum
Apr. 12, 2022 7:15 a.m.
I have a Masters in Special Education, with a teaching certification in special and general education. I was a teacher at Sun Prairie High School and pre-pandemic I was a preschool teacher at Sun Prairie Nursery School. My husband and I have four young children and truly feel that we have found a fantastic city to raise our family in. I am thrilled to be a part of bringing a children’s museum to Sun Prairie. Children’s museums are built to spark children’s imaginations, allow them to follow their passions and discover new passions, a place where children can show us how they play and in doing so, how their brains are developing. The Explore Children’s Museum will be a community hub; a place for families to enjoy one another, expand and explore their knowledge, develop skills and connect with their community and the world around them.
