Meet Camille

Anna Camille Hampton

Georgia DECAL-approved trainer, M.A. in Educational Psychology, and a Reggio Emilia practitioner with 30+ years in early-childhood education — serving Metro Atlanta and the Carolinas in person, and educators everywhere online.

A mother of two and a lifelong teacher, Camille has lived every seat in the field: classroom teacher, center director, instructional coach, and now consultant. She trained in the Reggio Emilia approach at Boulder Journey School, earned her M.A. at CU Denver, and brought that practice from Boulder to Atlanta — where she helps schools and individual educators turn theory into the everyday work of respecting children.

Her approach

Play is research. Observation is love.

The beliefs behind every training, woven from the research traditions Camille has practiced for three decades.

  • Observation is love

    Close, unhurried observation is the foundation of respect for the child — and the starting point for every plan, environment and conversation.

  • Play is research

    Children build understanding by doing. Loose parts, schemas and emergent curriculum turn the classroom into a laboratory for thinking.

  • Theory you can use Monday

    Big ideas only matter if they reach the floor. Camille translates Piaget, Vygotsky and Gardner into practice teachers can try the next morning.

  • Coaching, not lecturing

    Trainings are warm, reflective and practical — built around your educators, your space and the realities of your center.
