About

Hi, I’m Christie – the teacher, author and parent behind Childhood 101. About Christie Burnett of Childhood 101

I have been sharing learning activities, printables and play ideas online for over 15 years thanks to my passion for supporting the social emotional development of children, and for creating truly engaging educational resources for kids of all ages.

Prior to this time I taught children in preschool, kindergarten, elementary/primary school grades and childcare.

It was my passion for the importance of making learning fun and engaging for children that led me to start Childhood 101 in 2009, when our youngest child was just a year old.

In 2013 my book, Time to Create: Hands-On Explorations in Process Art for Young Children, was published by Gryphon House. The book provides a stepping stone into trying process based art projects with younger children, perfect for parents and educators working in the child care field.

A little more about Childhood 101

From humble beginnings, Childhood 101 has grown to be a popular online learning resource with teachers, homeschooling parents, therapists and leaders within a range of community groups from all across the world.

Here you will find over 2000 learning activities, play ideas, printables, book lists and education articles written by myself and a small, select group of guest writers – these are everyday teachers and parents sharing their own unique ideas and experiences.

Childhood 101’s ideas have been featured on high profile sites around the globe and, in recognition of its quality, authority and experience as a leader in the field, the site was twice awarded Best Parenting Blog at the prestigious Asia-Pacific wide Blog Awards.

Childhood 101 really is your online guide to engaged learning for children of all ages.
