Natalie Grant

Natalie is a veteran early years teacher, a mother of three, and the co-creator of Muddy Smiles – a site dedicated to children’s play. She taught children for over 8-years, specializing in music. During this time she experienced the best and worst of what mainstream education offers. This inspired a deep interest in pedagogical systems and how can we intentionally design children’s education to be effective, kind and whole-person focused.
