Cleveland, Queensland, Australia

I’ve been in the industry for 16 years, and prior to that I had four children who all went to Childcare. I’ve seen the industry change over the years, from both sides as a parent and Educator. Storypark has been such an asset to our business, and now as a Grandmother I’m enjoying the benefits of keeping up to date with what my grandchildren are doing at Kindy while I’m overseas.

Maria Lallier

New York, USA

I am originally from Utica, New York. I started working in child care in 1997 and instantly gained a passion in working with young children and a vision to one day own a preschool. In 2002, while working at Bright Horizons Family Solutions, in Charlotte, NC I was introduced to The Reggio Emilia Approach. This changed my life in the field of early childhood, as my perception on teaching shifted to have much more meaning, seeing children as competent and intelligent thinkers. In 2010 I gave birth to my son, we moved back to the Utica area and I began the process of opening a foundation school for young children. In August 2011 I opened by centre Young Einsteins.
