It was a pleasure to have Matt Stapleton visit CVC this week. Matt has collaborated with colleagues at CSU on an ARC project Babies in Groups and his work is centred on infants’ groups, communication, belonging and participation, and how research sits alongside day-to-day practice in his two early childhood education and care services in NSW. We look forward to ongoing conversations and collaborations.
Here are some of his publications:
Stapleton, M., Bradley, B. S. & Selby, J. (2025). Adopting a Group-Based Approach to Infant Sociability, Peer Relations and Wellbeing. In G. Quinones, A. Delaune (Eds.). Wellbeing for Infants and Toddlers in Education and Care. Springer.
