His work and thinking is deeply embedded in joy, adventure, marvel and play, four things that he believes are equally as important for adults.

Kate is an experienced global early childhood educator, working as an advisor, author, leader, trainer, and campaigner. Her work worldwide, including the UK, has driven her deep belief that effective early learning happens by understanding each child individually—exploring their unique interests and learning styles, and partnering with their families. Her passion for early childhood is fueled by her outdoor childhood, professional encounters, family (children and grandchildren), and her Masters studies at Pen Green Research Base, UK.
