Elise Waghorn

I have extensive experience within the Early Childhood Sector, training and research. With over 16 years of diverse involvement in the field, I have worked as a kindergarten teacher, facilitated family day care, and teaching expertise at the tertiary level for the past 8 years. My extensive background allows me to approach my research project, exploring the everyday lifeworlds of children in Australia and their connection to policy and educational experiences in Hong Kong and Singapore, with a comprehensive perspective. Furthermore, my teaching endeavors, with a specific focus on early childhood pedagogical practices, have not only supported and influenced children's wellbeing but have also aspiring educators at the tertiary level. I also have an unwavering dedication to amplifying children's rights and ensuring their voices are heard and respected is a driving force behind her commitment to the field.
