Professional Interests: I strive to achieve the many benefits of learning in the early stages of childhood through play. This accompanied with the use of the environment being the third teacher, reflects on using natural open ended materials to really let children use them according to their own capabilities.

These examples of theorists show learning for children of an early age as both a social/emotional and hands on approach.
