Irene Callen - Author Profile: Irene’s career as an early childhood teacher spans 50 years. She has worked in many different early childhood domains and is living history. Now she wants to write her own stories and has many to tell. Some are just fun but many are based on real experiences and are heartbreakingly beautiful. Children empower themselves through teamwork, sharing their knowledge and supporting each other. Irene shares her own passions with the children: nature, science, inventors, philosophers and the arts. Children have an innate sense of knowing. They need space to blossom. They know they have a place in the world. Together, they walk through their learning journey; listening, contributing, exploring, problem solving and most importantly, having fun. Lifelong gifts.
