contributors I would like to express my gratitude to the following people, without whom this publication would not be possible. Each person has made a valuable contribution to the discourse of early childhood education and are experts and professionals in their own right, and I would like to thank them for taking the time from their busy schedules to help inform this report. I would also like to pay special thanks to my mentors at NBRS for the duration of the Envision Student Partnership — Andrew Duffin, James Ward, Andrew Tripet, Libby Ure, Luen Samonte and Conor Brown as well as others who provided advice and assistance.
