About Me Early childhood education has been my passion for more than 25 years. I have worked as an international educator in schools in the Netherlands, China, Singapore and Switzerland in a variety of roles; as a teacher, PYP coordinator, assistant principal and school director. As an independent consultant, I have travelled the globe to work with schools, facilitate workshops and present at conferences. I am experienced with the International Baccalaureate Primary Years Programme (IB PYP) as a workshop leader and content developer. I have worked with the PYP development team in the Hague on the enhanced PYP and was responsible for developing materials around agency, early years, learning environments and leadership. From May 2019 until April 2023, I supported the implementation of the IB PYP as a classroom teacher and PYP coordinator at two local schools in The Hague. Since August 2023, I collaborate with schools as a full time independent educational consultant. My aim is to support educators to develop a shared pedagogy based on honouring young children as amazing learners. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fe3383af143823b4c158e9e/1612522887101-DQGYZU0CEDN9X5WMJYRB/ITa20210123-AnnevanDam-0094.jpg About - Experience & Qualifications 2019: Re-entered the classroom in a candidate PYP school in the Hague while continuing international consultancy part-time 2015: Joined the PYP development team at the IB regional office in The Hague as content developer Began working with international schools as an independent educational consultant 2011-2015: Assistant Principal at the International School of Zug and Luzern (ISZL), Switzerland 2008-2011: Director of EtonHouse International Pre-School 2007: Joined EtonHouse International Pre-School as a senior teacher, PYP Coordinator 2005-2007: Team Leader of the ECE division of the Canadian International School, Singapore 2005 - present: IB trainer https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fe3383af143823b4c158e9e/1611660102497-T5ORLHL71F0MA7SGHVZW/Untitled+%282%29.png About https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fe3383af143823b4c158e9e/1611660158585-G1KFBC86VA0AHQICHUSO/Untitled+%283%29.png About https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fe3383af143823b4c158e9e/1611660216303-FGP8M8FEWPUO87SG1JZD/Untitled+%284%29.png About https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fe3383af143823b4c158e9e/1612522841938-4YMHHBQA3PTVZ72AMWTR/Untitled.jpg About https://www.thelearningsquare.nl/workshops daily 0.75 2025-06-10 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fe3383af143823b4c158e9e/1611671139447-5FQKI9Z5JP4ZLXHE7DLT/17+Observation%2C+Documentation%2C+Interpretation.jpg Workshops Image credit: Sonja Niederhumer https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fe3383af143823b4c158e9e/1611158169802-4725DHXTVQBYC3H7OAFX/D2gxOv8XQAALTeV.jpeg Workshops https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fe3383af143823b4c158e9e/1611158169144-RB4UGFVIAP6EOHGL9QUO/D3efuDcXkAATagG.jpeg Workshops https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fe3383af143823b4c158e9e/1611158169092-VWVPEV9ZMYPPUGW9HDOL/D3efuDWXoAE5tzr.jpeg Workshops https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fe3383af143823b4c158e9e/1611158169241-KSDQOY9WO5BENN6B6YYG/D3efuDXX4AAtfWO.jpeg Workshops https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fe3383af143823b4c158e9e/1611158171380-NQU3SCKJAYVIY7RQ56VT/D5qX-0zWwAEEdt9.jpeg Workshops https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fe3383af143823b4c158e9e/1611158177823-P3R727WX4KGZSHGXC4D0/D2gxOv5WwAA2X4r.jpeg Workshops https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fe3383af143823b4c158e9e/1611158177898-TJ53MNJI43YE38JC4ZVP/D2gxOv6XcAYSdZp.jpeg Workshops https://www.thelearningsquare.nl/consultancy daily 0.75 2025-06-10 https://www.thelearningsquare.nl/testimonials daily 0.75 2023-09-09 https://www.thelearningsquare.nl/home daily 0.75 2021-01-01 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cdb0b54755be25d5d92bfb3/1559252207571-LZCNVW6ZFPOBOLJS7EC4/image-asset.jpeg Home - Continuing Education for Teachers We create bespoke continuing education programs to address the needs of teachers and their student communities.
