Biography
Assistant Professor
Bachelor of Early Childhood Education (UNRC, Argentina); MEd, PhD (UPEI)
I am a professor of early years pedagogies and co-coordinator of the Faculty of Education Early Literacy and Numeracy Outreach Project (LNOP). My current research focuses on play pedagogies in formal and informal education settings. With more of 30 years working on early years education, I am interested in exploring how play supports the development of 21st century skills.
