Hello, I'm Sally Draffan, a passionate educator from the UK. I was born and raised near London where I studied early years education. For the past 10 years, my contribution in education has helped children internationally in a range of settings. My experiences includes working in; schools, learning centres, nurseries, youth centres, orphanages, maternity nurse, kindergarten, forest schools, playgroups, and at home care for children with additional needs. As a qualified teacher, I prioritize physical and mental health as a basis for children to learn, develop and grow from. My role provides opportunity and safe environments for children as part of an educational experience. I believe when each child's individual needs are met, they are able to thrive and reach their full potential as part of a healthy and happy childhood.
