Candidate, Doctor of Social Sciences, Royal Roads University

Candidate, Doctor of Social Sciences, Royal Roads University Professor of Early Childhood Education, School of Health Sciences, Humber College, Toronto I have extensive experience in global and regional programming, policy development and advocacy in early childhood development (including Sustainable Development Goals 4 target on ECD) . I am currently researching how young children develop wonder, wisdom and relationships in a forest and nature program (co-piloted in at Humber College 2016) as well as parent perspectives of their children’s experiences in the forest nature program (article forthcoming). I am a founding advisory board member of PlayFutures (https://www.playfutures.net), an advocacy network on learning through play convened by the Lego Foundation. I am involved in an exploration on using green blue natural spaces and environments to promote learning through play: https://www.legofoundation.com/en/learn-how/knowledge-base/playfutures-exploration-6-green-blue-spaces-where-play-and-learning-are-natural/
