About the speaker

Over the last 2 decades, Dawn has been immersed in all facets of the Early years sector. Dawn originally trained as a Montessori teacher, and has Early Years Teacher Status, a Postgraduate Certificate in Education and a Masters Degree from the University of Roehampton. A key principle of her practice is that all those working with children need a good level of understanding of knowledge and theory and an outstanding practitioner needs to be able to demonstrate this knowledge by putting it into practice. In the last few years Dawn has been working on ways to develop playful interactions to enable strong emotional connections between adults and children. She feels very passionately that adults need to engage with children as play partners, supporting, extending and respecting their play, valuing those play choices. Dawn firmly believes in the child’s right to play and is an advocate for a play curriculum in early years especially through In the moment planning.
