“I have been teaching and working with young children for over forty years. As a result of Kelly’s guidance, I have developed a new understanding of what it means to create an equitable and inclusive environment, where all children get to learn, play, thrive, and pass on to future generations. As a direct result of Kelly’s mentorship and support, I am able to put these incipient ideas into actionable plans and lessons. She has demonstrated how to foster this environment through collaborative and intentional planning; as well as honest and sometimes hard conversations with families and colleagues. Most importantly Kelly has shown how to accomplish this through the loving lens of what is best for both the child and their community."
