Welcome to my little corner of Why Play Learning. I’m so glad you’re here. This space is where my passion for nurturing children’s natural curiosity truly comes alive. Everything I do is shaped by years of experience, a deep love of learning through play, and a heartfelt commitment to helping families feel confident on their home-education journey. Before you dive into my story, I hope you’ll feel the warmth, purpose, and joy that guide this work every single day.
All About Me
Hey there! I'm thrilled to share a bit about my journey: I've spent over 20 incredible years teaching in the UK before diving into child-minding. Since losing my beloved husband—who was always my biggest supporter and believed in my educational philosophies—I've found strength in continuing to pour my love and passion into home-educating my grandson, who has multiple special needs.
Since 2018, I've joyfully guided his learning, carrying forward the incredible support and encouragement my husband always gave me. His belief in my approach never wavered, and even though he's no longer here, I feel his spirit in every learning moment with my grandson. Am I an expert? Not in everything—and that's perfectly okay! I truly believe, and what my husband always reinforced, is that children learn best when they are engaged and having fun!
Life hasn't always been easy, losing my partner, but continuing to educate and support my grandson has been a beautiful way to honour our shared values and dreams. Together, we're creating meaningful moments of discovery and joy. Let's come together and make a real difference!
