Meet "Miss Tracey" 
"Miss" Tracey Kretzer has taught over 2,000 children, so you may know her. Here's more...
Tracey Kretzer, M.S., LPSC
Tracey Kretzer knows children. She has made their well-being her life's work, and their response to her is a key reason why her Parent Child Üniversity has been so successful in the D.C. area. As its founder, the guiding principal of Parent Child U, Tracey is an astute businesswoman who hasn't lost sight of the mission: To help create a joyous relationship between a confident parent and a child open to the world and its possibilities. Her two girls (8 and 6), toddler boy (2), and hundreds of children and parents she teaches a year are a testament to her skill.
It's Tracey's emphasis on parenting that first distinguished her as she developed her credentials, which include a B.A., magna cum laude, in psychology and an M.S. in educational psychology from SUNY at Albany, as well as her Professional School Counseling License from George Mason University. During her ten years in the Fairfax County school system, she pioneered numerous elementary counseling programs, peer mediation programs, and parenting seminars. There she gained a reputation as the "go- to" person for advice and creative solutions.
When she became a parent herself, in an effort to balance work and family, Tracey found a research-based child enrichment program that included a bit of parent education with music education, Kindermusik®. From there, she learned about the power of combining music with American Sign Language and Conscious Discipline® and developed her sought-after R.O.C.K.-n-R.O.L.L.TM social emotional teacher training/child enrichment program. This summer she pioneers her own NEW Positively Disciplined TM class. Come experience the winning combination andLearn, Read, Rhyme, Sing & Sign TM with us at Parent Child University today!

parent, teacher and child programs to your friends, teachers, directors, and principals. Thank y0u!
