Great Pines First School

For more than thirty years, I have worked with young children and families, guided by the belief that curiosity is at the heart of learning. With a PhD in the Sociology of Childhood, I have collaborated with educators across Europe and the U.S., exploring what high-quality early education looks like in everyday practice. As a teacher, mentor, lecturer, and school director, I see learning as a living relationship between children, adults, families, and the world. I strongly advocate for children’s right to play and strive to bring research into meaningful, engaging classroom experiences that support children’s development and sense of wonder.
