Matthew has been working in education for over two decades, bringing together his expertise in education, design, and psychology. He’s focused on improving how we educate young people, with experience as a Head Teacher with TAFE NSW and the Department of Education NSW. Over the years, he identified a need in the Early Childhood Education and Care Sector for better tools and practices. Now, his businesses serve 80% of Australian Long Day Care centres, providing them with the support they need to achieve the best outcomes. Matthew has visited hundreds of centres across Australia, training over 50,000 educators. He’s also an author and illustrator of children’s books.

In his latest book, “Babies in Groups,” Matthew challenges conventional notions of infant development. Drawing on groundbreaking research, the book showcases infants’ remarkable capacity for group interaction, even before forming individual bonds. Through studies on all-baby trios and quartets, as well as insights from primate behaviour and human evolution, Matthew and his co-authors debunk claims of innate dyadic intersubjectivity. They highlight the implications of this group-oriented perspective on early education, psychotherapy, and cultural practices. The book advocates for a re-evaluation of therapeutic approaches and educational frameworks to better align with infants’ social nature, offering new insights into how we understand and support early childhood development.
