Mat Dusza
I was born and raised in Toowoomba, Australia. In 1997, I
started my Early Childhood profession as a 2s/Preschool Teacher where I
received a foundation and passion implementing a Reggio Emelia enriched
program. In 2001, I found my next passion in mentoring and training Early
Childhood professionals.
Moving to the U.S. in 2002, my EC career continued as a preschool teacher then
in Program Leadership, Administration and Professional Development.
In 2014, I started working with Green Space in Professional Development. And,
in 2019 helped to develop and now manage Green Space Playgrounds.
