About Me

I'm Anastasia Edwards-an early years educator, educational leader, and proud single mum to toddler twin boys.

 

With almost 20 years of experience in education, including 15 years in Singapore's international schools and nearly four years as a Principal, I have dedicated my career to supporting children, families, and educators in creating meaningful learning experiences.

Inspired by the Reggio Emilia approach, I believe children learn best through play, exploration, relationships, and hands-on experiences with real materials. in a world increasingly dominated by screens, I am passionate about creating opportunities for children to connect with nature, engage their senses, and discover the wonder of the world around them.

BeAlere was born from this passion—a place where children can explore freely, families can learn together, and childhood is celebrated through curiosity, creativity, and connection.

Whether we're investigating natural treasures, engaging in sensory play, or supporting educators through professional learning, my goal is simple: to create experiences that inspire a lifelong love of learning I look forward to welcoming you into the BeAlere community.

Anastasia Edwards.
