How it gets done with MaDonna Princer

There are some directors that have done the job so well for so long that it’s hard to notice how they made the work so effortless.

She was able to get her three children through Head Start while she grew as both a Policy Council member and later a Councilwoman in her own community. If you need a bit of inspiration to pull you through some rough days…listen to this.

How to do it right with Linda Meredith

This week, after what seemed a long hiatus, Keri and Tim talk to Linda Meredith. Linda just retired from a long career in Head Start that culminated in her being the Chair of the NHSA Board of Directors. Linda has always been among calmest voices in our world and represents the kind of person Head Start creates…the best.

Catching up with Kristina Ellis

This week Keri and Tim chat with our old friend Kristina Ellis. Kristina is fortunate enough to have seen much of Early Childhood Education from different angles. First working for a highly regarded Head Start grantee in Oklahoma, then a stint with NSHA where she helped launched the Academy, and most recently with a childcare program where she spends her day’s chasing grants. She is always delightful.
