“Pedagogy that responds to a child’s individual needs and is of high quality requires the contribution of the entire team of professionals to be realized.”

Early childhood education is, to the greatest extent, a multidisciplinary team effort, with each child, with their individual strengths, interests and needs, at its core. High-quality and well-designed pedagogy supports the child’s holistic growth and development, but above all, it is every child’s right. By harnessing the solid competence and multidisciplinary expertise of the entire team, ways can be found to create a good and functional everyday life for every child and adult. Team leadership also plays a major role in identifying and utilizing these competences for the benefit of the work community.

My solid experience in early childhood education and preschool pedagogy is the result of years of diverse work experience. I have worked for a long time as an early childhood education teacher with different ages, especially with 5- and 6-year-olds. In recent years, I have taught both future early childhood education teachers and social workers at universities and polytechnics. Through my work, I have been able to familiarize myself with the core competencies of almost all professionals working in early childhood education and thereby see how enormous the competence potential is in early childhood education teams.

In addition to my passion for teaching and team management, my heart also beats particularly strongly for a pedagogy that is functional, present and inspiring for children to explore. Fortunately, in addition to educating adults, I have also been able to work as a textbook author for the Eskariretki material, thus contributing to the everyday work with children and high-quality pedagogy.
