Dr. Enid Elliot, Early Childhood Educator, Teacher, Researcher, and Advocate


Enid Elliot is a Canadian early childhood educator, an advocate for the people who work with young children, and a person who deeply cares for and is concerned about the lives of all children. While her career in early childhood education (ECE) is more than four decades old, she is now widely seen in British Columbia, and indeed in Canada, as one of the founding ‘mothers’ of the nature kindergarten /nature preschool movement.
