Hi, I'm Liliya — an early childhood educator based in Copenhagen, Denmark.
I hold an iPGCE in International Early Years from the University of the West of England and a Level 4 Diploma in Montessori Pedagogy (Birth to Seven). My work spans over eight years across early years settings in London and Copenhagen, working with children from birth to age six across Montessori, HighScope, and IB Primary Years Programme frameworks.
Growing Bright Minds brings together what I know from the classroom — the frameworks, the approaches, the things that actually work — and makes it accessible to the parents and educators who need it most.
Questions, collaborations, or just want to say hello — we'd love to hear from you.
Framework-grounded ideas for parents and educators, every Thursday.
