Meet the Founder
Hello!
My name is Chris Masterson. I am a mom, writer, entrepreneur, and teacher currently based in Canada. I have worked in education for the last 30 years and have a Bachelor’s and Master’s Degree in Elementary Education from the University of Strathclyde in Scotland and the University of Reading in England.
I created Create Play Develop so that I can share with you what I have learned along the way during my journey in education as a teacher and as a principal. My hope is that this blog will be a helpful guide to parents of young children who want to provide them with a rich education and a strong foundation for future learning.
