Stephanie Sinclair
Co-Director Insightful Learning and Education
First and most importantly, Steph is a mum to two girls. They are her World and her inspiration to improve the quality of early childhood education for all children. This can be achieved by supporting educators and teachers to be the best they can be through learning and development.
Steph is an Early Childhood Trained Teacher with her Bachelors in (Primary)/Early Childhood Education from Newcastle University. Throughout her time in Early Childhood Education she has worked across a variety of different roles and across all age groups (0-5 years). This includes Preschool Teacher, Educational Leader and 2IC.
In 2015 Steph completed her Certificate IV in Training and Assessment and in 2016 she starting to facilitate after hours workshops for a local RTO, while still working in an ECE service. This was her first taste at working with adult learners – and she loved it!
In 2020 Steph moved into Training and Assessment. Here she assisted Certificate III and Diploma Trainees to complete their qualifications. She loves supporting and working with adult learners to reach their goals.
In 2020, while still working as a Trainer and Assessor, Steph started working for Childcare Resources Australia (CRA). Here she worked alongside Karen, to write and produce learning guides and assessments for RTO’s to purchase for their learners. This was a great opportunity for Steph to see how the learning materials are created and developed.
In 2023 Steph and Karen decided to join forces and open Insightful Learning and Education. They are both passionate about Early Childhood Education and creating high quality learning materials for all educators and teachers.
Steph loves to stay current and while she is not writing learning materials, managing our social media accounts, completing consultancy work or mentoring for Insightful, she works casually in Early Childhood Services and Primary Schools.
