Out In The Hall

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.

Fatherhood with Mills Rodgers

This week Keri and Tim sit down with parent engagement specialist Mills Rodgers to talk about the importance of fathers in children’s lives. Early Childhood professionals may need a different tack when working with fathers and Mills has some ideas. Listen in.

Goodness and Light with Erin Ramsey

This week Keri and Tim speak with one of Head Start favorite writers, educators, and lavender farmers; Erin Ramsey. Erin takes us through some important exercises to get you through your day and re-energize your spirit. You will love her like we do.

Ashley, who later joined the board of directors, shares a special perspective on what she learned and how Head Start boosted her confidence to reach new heights. It’s a truly insightful conversation.
