This week, we’re on episode 35 of the Preschool Podcast. We discuss the inclusion of men in childcare with David Wright, owner of Paint Pots Nurseries and organizer of the first ever national Men in Early Years conference in the UK. We talk about the perception of men in childcare, the challenges they face as professionals and why he is an advocate for a more gender diverse workforce.
David emphasizes children have the right be educated by both female and male educators at an early years level, making for a more socially balanced learning experience.
