Maria O’Reilly

Position: Classroom Facilitator
Categories: Entry to School

Maria is Registered Early Childhood Educator and has worked in a variety of different settings including summer camps, childcare centres and before and after school environments. Her interest in working with neurodivergent children was sparked at one of her first placements and has grown ever since. While working with ACT, Maria began to see and recognize her own neurodivergences which led to her finally receiving her own autism diagnosis last year.

She uses her own experiences and knowledge to create a welcoming and honest environment that allows children to embrace their unique selves while growing and preparing for the big world that awaits them. This is her third cohort with the ETS program, and she is excited to meet and journey with each new child who walks through the doors.
