Education
When I started working in Early Childhood in the Late 1970’s there was not much available in the education department. Women were just starting to join the workforce in bigger numbers. Over the years I have taken a multitude of classes and have a Early
Childhood Administrators Credential.

I have been working in Early Childhood since the mid 1980’s and my favorite age group are the three year olds. I also spent 6 years on the mission field. I lived in Australia for a year and was able to travel the world.
