Dr Kelly Tribolet began her teaching career over 20 years ago as an Early Childhood Teacher employed in a range of settings, including preschool, long day care and family day care services. Since 2004, she has been employed at Charles Sturt University, gaining a breadth of experience through various roles including research assistant, lecturer, Workplace Learning Coordinator, and most recently Course Director for the early childhood programs. While her teaching areas cover early childhood curriculum studies (maths, science, literacy, physical education), her main focus area lies within the field of health, safety and well-being. Kelly completed her PhD in 2020, with an  investigation of current practices and pedagogy for the provision of physical activity and movement experiences in early childhood settings.
