Rose is the programme lead for the BA (Hons) Early Childhood Studies. Rose’s early years background began in a preschool for a domestic violence refuge, offering information and guidance for mothers on rebuilding a family.
Rose started her teaching career with Colchester Institute, teaching on the Early Years BTEC Level 3. This has provided a wealth of knowledge in current needs for preschools in the local area, and supports knowledge of current practice within settings.
She completed an MA in Education and her current research focuses on understanding the impact of school closures on the learning and wellbeing of children who were taught at home through lockdown. Rose is exploring current practices in supporting students through pregnancy and having children at home while continuing to study. Rose believes that education should be possible and accessible to all who want to achieve the qualification.
