Mosaic Mindset
Principal Consultant
Kristen Klaassen, ECSE, M.A., is the owner and founder of Mosaic Mindset Consulting. Initially, Kristen believed she would teach young children forever because she loved working in the classroom, especially with children who had significant delays or who exhibited really challenging behaviors. Observing and playing with children, collaborating with staff and families was a dream for her—until she discovered her passion for training and coaching adults. From that point on, she was hooked on supporting and uplifting adults in early childhood.
Kristen has over 30 years of experience in early childhood education, with 25 years dedicated to coaching and 20 years to teaching coaching. She was a lead developer of the Early Childhood Coaching Certificate at the University of Colorado Denver and has been teaching Course One since its inception in 2011.
