Jo is also drawing on her experience and expertise in early childhood care and education to guide and mentor student teachers who undergo training with EtonHouse Education Centre (EEC).
Jo believes that learning happens easily when the child is actively involved in the learning process – when the learning process is connected to the child’s interests and abilities and when it is hands-on enjoyment! She makes it her goal to make every child’s education a positive, happy experience and to help develop the confidence necessary to become a risk-taking, problem solving, life-long learner.
