About me
Therese Wiart Jenkinson served for 18 years as primarily a kindergarten teacher in Alberta schools. In partnership with her sister, they renovated a 1912 historic home in Red Deer to open an early childhood preschool childcare in which she was a director and early childhood educator. Then began the era of postsecondary teaching for Early Learning and Child Care programs at Red Deer College, Lethbridge College and Mount Royal University. She became involved in the development and pilot phases for the Alberta Early Learning and Child Care Curriculum and taught the curriculum framework course at MacEwan University. She achieved her Waldorf Early Childhood Teacher certification at the West Coast Institute and her Level 1 in Spatial Dynamics, five-year movement therapy and education course. She is a PhD candidate at the Ontario Institute for Education Studies at the University of Toronto.
