Helen has been in early childhood education since 1994 in the capacity of teacher, leader, facilitator, and lecturer in both Auckland and the Waikato. She now lives in Porirua with her husband and two young children.

Helen has been interested and inspired by things Reggio since 2001 and in particular how ECE teachers and settings in Aotearoa can be inspired and challenged in ways which ‘fit’ with our own (bi)cultural context and curriculum.
