"I was completely floored by the material.  The information is 100% useful..." Alice Alvarez, Director, Blessed Sacrament Academy

"It's like having my own personal sounding board." Helen Arthur, Supervisor, School-Age Program

"I have learned a great deal about being a manager from the newsletters, website and CDs."  Kathy Monahan, Owner, Massachusetts

"I love the Leadership Connection for child care! I've found it to be of phenomenal help to me!"  Tanya Gifford, Director, Kid's Round-Up

"What a wealth of information. If my program didn't pay for my membership, I would pay for it myself. It's that good."  Hope Wharton,  Executive Director

"I've learned so much through the Leadership Connection!  Julie offers a unique service to our industry --  it is extremely valuable."  Jean Hawks, Director, Fort Hill Child Dev. Center

"What you provide to us in the field is wonderful!  Thank you very much..."  Elaine Farmer

"Several months ago I joined your website. I love it!  After only a few months I'm sold... "  Jane Tyson

"I am excited about using materials from your web site. It is great!        Dr. Pheroba Ann Thomas, Childcare Resource Network

"I visited your site and WOW! What a wonderful program for Childcare Professionals... I think your website is the answer to many prayers."   Margaret Crum

"You are incredible! And I cannot thank you enough for the service you are offering to so many people! I for one find it so helpful."   Linda

"I just want to thank you for the wonderful materials this site provides. I have not been a member for very long, but already I have received materials that I have used successfully with my staff.  The first was the raffle question. We received this just a few days prior to our all day staff training. We set it up and picked the winner at the end of our training day. It was fun and stimulated a lot of conversation during the days leading up to the drawing. We are looking forward to the next raffle question.  Right now the staff are working on the crossword puzzle that just came out. Again it is stimulating a lot of conversation and enjoyment.  I really appreciate these fun activities. It helps to rejuvenate and reinforce early childhood topics without me having to lecture to them. They are enjoying it as well.  Please keep sending these tools.  They are great."  L. Greasley, Member

"Kids First has been receiving the Cds for years and we use them a ton. The topics are so appropriate an address common and current topics. The information is shared at Director's Breakfasts, in newsletters and at staff meetings.  Thanks for the great information."   Nancy Nichols

"I wanted to take a few minutes and tell you how much I appreciate your web site...When I found your site I was just thrilled. This is something that is so needed in the Early Childhood Community of which I have been a part for the last 23 years. Even veteran Directors and Managers will find things on this site that will be useful as it is always good to not only get refreshers but find and hear new things as well. I know myself as a Veteran Director that I sometimes find myself thinking, "I have tried it all" but, much to my surprise I was happy to find things that either I had tried many years ago and it didn't work or things that I hadn't even thought of! Many of us try things with one particular staff that don't work, but you may have amazing results with a completely different staff years later. Keep up the great work Julie! As professionals in the field of Early Childhood Education we have to motivate and cheer each other on because if we don't no one else will! Blessings to you!" Gina D. Sarver Director Christ Church United Methodist Preschool

"Thank you for the wealth of information and sharing, it has been a tremendous help."   Karan Hiester

"I would highly recommend the Leadership Connection. I tried the trial membership and had to renew because of the content I discovered. It's an invaluable tool for child care leaders. When you're facing a challenging leadership situation it's sometimes tough to think of an answer. This program offers you the solutions and support you need to be effective in your role. I love it!"    Marian Rands, Linwood Child Centre, Inc.
