Clara Lovatt - Clara Lovatt

Clara’s passion is to provide quality child care where young children can grow and be happy in healthy, loving environments. She believes the future of our planet is in the hands of these little ones.

Now a grandmother, Clara’s career opportunities included:

Work with children in a shelter for homeless families

Work with children and families in Anglican, United and Unitarian congregations

Coordinator of child care for children of families newly arrived in Canada

Director of a licensed child care centre for several of years

Home child care provider for many years

Clara is currently writing a book about the infant’s emotional life in day care. Her fictional story traces the hour-by-hour story of an infant's first day at daycare - and her Mom’s first day back at work. Woven through the story are childcare and Momcare tips, key strategies, and specific questions to help Mom and her baby stay emotionally connected and secure during the early days of their first major separation.

Clara is currently a full time early childhood educator and part time writer. She writes poetry and articles for small newsletters and publications. Suite 101 is Clara’s first stint writing for an online magazine.
