Ms. Sana Ali is the Director and Owner of EduCastle Learning Center, with over a decade of experience in early childhood education. She built EduCastle around a simple conviction: every child does their best learning somewhere safe, nurturing and genuinely engaging, where they feel valued enough to explore, discover and grow.
She is also a doctoral student specializing in Early Childhood Education, Leadership and Advocacy, an author, a blogger and a STEM advocate, committed to expanding meaningful early learning opportunities and strengthening the partnership between children, families, educators and the community. “Creating Knights of Knowledge” is her phrase, and her standard.
Off the clock, she is still writing about this stuff
Her children’s book, STEM Explorers: Discover, Create, and Learn!, is out now, and her blog covers early learning as parents actually live it — from STEM activities with household items to surviving the first day of daycare.
