I'm Corinne Barron, a former elementary school teacher, author, and the creator of Genius Playing.

My mission is simple: to help parents and educators create joyful, meaningful, and personalized learning experiences through the power of play.

After years of exploring educational approaches such as Montessori, Freinet, Reggio Emilia, and other child-centered methods, I began designing games that make learning engaging, practical, and enjoyable for every child.

My work is also deeply personal.

I'm the homeschooling mother of a neurodivergent child, and many of the resources you'll find here were first created for our own learning journey. Every game has been tested, improved, and enjoyed around our own family table before being shared with thousands of other families.

Today, Genius Playing brings together playful educational resources that help children build skills, confidence, and curiosity—without turning learning into a daily struggle.

Let's make learning something children look forward to.
