Emily Smart

Early childhood professional with a passion for creating enriching educational experiences.

Supporting the creation of inclusive, engaging learning environments inspired by the Reggio Emilia philosophy, valuing children as capable, curious learners. Implementing and facilitating play-based, inquiry-driven experiences that supported children’s cognitive, social, and emotional development. Collaborates closely with educators to observe, reflect, and adapt learning experiences in response to children’s interests. Fosters a nurturing environment that encourages exploration, relationships, and self-expression, while maintaining open and respectful communication with families regarding children’s learning journeys and developmental milestones.

With over 15 years of experience in early childhood education, I have gained a deep understanding of how children learn best through play, curiosity, and meaningful connections. Working closely with young children and families inspired me to create and sell unique, thoughtfully designed resources for educators and parents that support child-led learning. These resources are created to extend children’s interests, encourage creativity and exploration, and foster rich learning experiences across both educational and home environments. Through this work, I aim to support educators and families in nurturing children’s natural curiosity and love of learning.
