Jayneen Sanders
Jayneen Sanders (aka Jay Dale) is an experienced Australian early years educator, children’s book author, and publisher.
She began her teaching career in the 1980s as a primary school teacher in rural Queensland, Australia, before moving to Melbourne, Victoria, where she taught at several inner-city schools. In 1985, Jayneen transitioned to a career as an educational editor and publisher.
In the early 1990s, Jayneen and her partner moved to Japan to work as English teachers, living there for over three and a half years. Her first daughter was born in Japan.
Upon returning to Australia, Jayneen began working as an educational author and packager, authoring and producing numerous award-winning titles for the educational publishing industry. She is also an accomplished children’s book author, contributing to literacy series such as ZigZags, Totally Kidz, Deadly and Incredible, and a children’s picture book series for Penguin.
Jayneen is currently the lead author of the ‘Engage Literacy’ series, published by Capstone, for which she has written over 150 titles.
A mother of three daughters, Jayneen served as a school councillor at her local school for over seven years. Her experiences as both a teacher and a parent inspired her to question the protective measures in place for children in schools, particularly regarding inappropriate touch. Realizing that little was being done, she used her authoring and publishing skills to write ‘Some Secrets Should Never Be Kept,’ aiming to help parents, carers, and teachers discuss this subject with children and encourage them to speak up.
Following the positive reception of ‘Some Secrets Should Never Be Kept,’ Jayneen recognized a need for further prevention education. She engaged in Protective Behaviours professional development and attended numerous conferences on child safety, empowering herself to provide age-appropriate and empowering body safety and consent education.
Jayneen went on to develop and publish a comprehensive Body Safety and Respectful Relationship Teacher’s Resource Kit. She has also written many more children’s books focusing on body safety, consent, respect, gender equality, social and emotional intelligence, and diversity and inclusion.
Currently, Jayneen works with her partner, Mark Sanders, to run Educate2Empower Publishing. Her commitment to the safety and empowerment of children continues, with new manuscripts and free resources regularly in development.
