Hi my name Kelly Hudson. I have been a child care provider in Everett, WA for almost 15 years now. I am currently a Ph.D. student focusing on early childhood development with an emphasis on social-emotional development. I enjoy working with children and their families. I am in the middle of research and have contacted other child care providers in the area to participate in a 20-30 minuter interview, but no one has returned calls or emails. As I was conducting literature research today, I found this site & decided to become a member. I love the History of Child Care in Washington State video. It resonates exactly what I am doing right now, so it was a great resource.
As a child care provider, I'm interested in delivering quality care to all children that I have the opportunity to work with.

Hello all,
Shahla from Los Angeles here. I'm studying in New Haven and am currently an intern for the wonderful Tomorrow's Youth Organization in Nablus in the occupied Palestinian territories. I teach science to young kids and English to mothers and, when I'm not doing that, I'm working on the organization's social media aspect.
Excited to join the community and get to know all of you better.
Thanks,
Shahla

Hello everyone!
My name is Richard Reynolds and I'm an Early Childhood Education student at Olympic College in Bremerton.
I'm pursuing my Associate degree in ECE and I'm currently looking for work in the field. I have two children of my own, both daughters, aged 13 and 8. I have completed my Practicum and am one class away from having my Stars certificate. I have worked as a graphic artist most of my adult life and last year I decided that I would like to pursue my long held ambition to be a preschool teacher. My ultimate goal is to work as an artist-in-residence at a Reggio Emilia inspired child care center. I find a great deal of inspiration from the creativity of children. They have a natural curiosity and desire to experiment through creative means.
I'm really happy to have found this forum as I'm currently looking for employment in a new field and I have a lot of questions. Any advice and encouragement from long time Early Learning professionals would be greatly appreciated!

Hi Erin
I recently joined this group as a pediatric speech pathologist to network with other early learning professionals. I also self published an educational childrens book I designed to promote speech sound development and imitation of gestures, sounds, and words. I see you work with a group of librarians on the Early Learning Public Library Partnership. I am ready to begin marketing my book to libraries and wonder if you could possibly help me. Feel free to visit my website in order to get a better feel for my early learning book. My website is https://thebigbookofexclamations.com
I look forward to hearing from you Erin. Thanks for your time today and have a wonderful week!

Hi, I'm Marta from Hawaii. I'm a parent and a teacher of my 19 months old baby. I started to be interested in early learning 2 months before my due date when I saw the infomercial on TV "Your baby can read". My baby Eaton is 19 months old now and he knows how to read. I'm continuing teaching him with love and dedication. I just love doing it!
Please see my blog I created for all parents interested in early learning. You can be surprised what your baby can learn!

I hope to get lots of information on this forum
