Storykate: Practical tools for curriculum planning for early childhood educators

Hi, I'm Kate — an early childhood educator, early childhood teacher and teacher’s teacher!

I help educators write better observations, plan effective curriculum through play, and bring nature pedagogy to life.

I have a background in Social and Political Science, Early Childhood (Bachelor and Master of Education), VET and Tertiary education (both face-to-face classroom teaching and online learning). I have worked in the early childhood profession for over 15 years in various positions: as a nanny, a playgroup coordinator, and a storyteller at the local library, eventually completed Certificate 3, Diploma, Bachelor and Masters of Early Childhood Education, and Graduate Certificate of research.

With time and gained experience, I enjoyed more leadership-like roles, such as an educational leader, trainer/ assessor, eLearning Advisor and unit coordinator. Every year I enjoy working as a relief ECT in different preschools and long day care centres to keep current.

I live in Australia and enjoy nature walks 🐞🦋🌱 and ocean swims🌊🪸🦑.

I love playing the piano and ukulele; singing with children and pre-service teachers; write poetry and silly songs. Making puppets and other teaching resources is another passion of mine. I am also a book nerd and read everything related to early childhood education and care.
