THE creators
We are at heart inquiry-based teachers who believe that children deserve meaningful experiences and have a right to encounter the arts as a way of thinking and learning, not as an activity but as an everyday ongoing experience.

Founder & Creator
Since I can remember teaching has captured my heart and mind. I graduated in New Zealand with my teaching degree in 1997 and have been captivated by the early childhood landscape since. I find great joy in my work with children, their capabilities, curiosities and strength is a continuous revelation in my own learning. My interest in the arts is strongly connected to wellbeing and mental health and through the various roles in my career I seek to integrate these perspectives in my practice.

Founder & Creator
I always knew that my chosen profession would involve working with children. I have held a fascination from my earliest memories of how children engaged with the world. I believe that children gift us so much if we listen; it can infuse who we are as teachers as we continually evolve with our artistry. I am grateful to the educational project from Reggio Emilia that changed my professional trajectory, amplifying my identity as a researcher alongside children and how they learn.
