Bailey Duff

Bailey Duff (she/her) is a Program Coordinator at the Canadian Children’s Literacy Foundation, where she supports the Early Words program.

Bailey joined the Foundation after working with the literary festival Telling Tales, where she managed literary programming and collaborated with authors, illustrators, publishers, and educators from across Canada. Her professional background began in early childhood music education with the nonprofit An Instrument For Every Child, where she taught music in inner city schools. This experience deepened her commitment to inclusive, child-centred education and continues to influence her approach to literacy and arts programming.

Outside of her work at CCLF, Bailey is an active arts organizer in Hamilton, Ontario. She is passionate about creating inclusive, participatory storytelling experiences for audiences of all ages.

Bailey grew up with Nancy Drew mysteries, and now enjoys the timeless puzzles of Agatha Christie and other classic “whodunits.”
