Up Close with Dr. Jean Clinton
A ‘frickin’ legend among ECE’s in child care centres across towns, urban hubs and faraway places, Dr.Clinton has shared her passion for children, attachment, early brain development, and the impact of just one smiling face on the development of an early mind, body and soul.
But just what is it that draws Dr.Clinton to children? What has fueled her profession throughout the years? What are her proudest moments? And what life lessons can she share in a way she has never shared before?
Dr. Clinton is renowned nationally and internationally as an advocate for children’s issues. Her special interest lies in brain development, and the crucial role relationships and connectedness play therein. Jean champions the development of a national, comprehensive child well-being strategy, including a system of early learning and care for all young children and their families. She is equally committed to ensuring that children’s and youths’ needs and voices are heard and respected.
