Welcome to School for Parents Kirsten! Hi, I’m Kirsten Bairstow-Robb and I started working with School for Parents this week as Conductor-Teacher.
Having worked in a variety of roles over the years, I now know that I really enjoy practicing Conductive Education with the younger age group and enjoy being able to develop relationships with parents and carers. I feel very excited to be joining such a vibrant team in School for Parents and I look forward to meeting and working with more parents, carers and children over the next few weeks.
