The bulk of her childhood was spent outdoors – far from the gaze of adults and in the stark absence of technology. Anita places value in fostering ecological literacy within her kindergarten program. At the core of her teaching pedagogy is the understanding that being in nature plays a fundamental role in a child’s early years. It is her belief that outdoor experiences, such as bush kinder, help to build children’s resilience and their ability to assess risk. She holds a special interest towards curricula in non-traditional learning environments.
