In honour of International Women’s Day and Women’s History Month, this episode of The Early Learning Lounge reflects on the powerful influence of women in early childhood education and leadership.

In this deeply personal episode, Tammy shares stories of the women who shaped her understanding of resilience, compassion, and leadership — from her grandmother and mother to her daughter, family, and the extraordinary women in her circle.

Their stories reveal a powerful truth: some of the strongest leaders in our lives do not hold titles or seek recognition. They simply show up with courage, empathy, and unwavering commitment to others.

The more we reflect on these women, the more we see that same strength in early learning educators every single day.

Early childhood educators nurture curiosity.
They advocate for children.
They create learning environments where children feel safe, seen, and capable.

This episode honours the women who shape children’s earliest experiences and reminds us that leadership in early learning is often quiet, relational, and deeply impactful.

Because behind every child who feels seen, safe, and capable…
there is a woman who helped them believe they could be.

And if you’re listening today…

somewhere in someone’s story…

you are SHE.
