Kim Rowland

I am an experienced educator, mentor, trainer and assessor in the field of Early Childhood Education. I have enjoyed teaching both children and adults over the past thirty years. I have worked closely with the childcare sector forming positive partnerships in my work. I am passionate about working with people and I can connect with children, adults, parents, young adults and colleagues. I am a dynamic and articulate person and love meeting interesting people in my work. I have experience in the preparation and structure of training and educational programs. My passion working with young children guides my pedagogy and practices and I love observing the way children appreciate being in every moment. I have also enjoyed discussing early childhood topics on The Today show. I have a keen interest in Indigenous perspectives in the early childhood field, especially in regards to Connection to Country and being mindful and in the moment. I would love to learn more.
