Meet your presenter

Vicki McKinnon

After a number of years in secondary and early childhood teaching, Vicki began her Montessori training twenty years ago.

Since then, Vicki has led her organisation through the development and establishment of three Montessori Long Day Care centres. She also recognised that a training organisation was an essential component in supporting an authentic Montessori workforce.

Building Futures Education was established more than ten years ago and delivers both Early Childhood and Montessori qualifications.

Over the years, Vicki has evolved from educator to businesswoman, building strong capability across the strategic elements that support an organisation to deliver optimal education.

She has a particular interest in how Montessori philosophy can influence leadership approaches and support Education for Peace within adult communities.
