From Survive to Thrive is an essential guide for any current or aspiring director to use in actively preparing for and successfully navigating the many aspects of leadership in early childhood education. College professors teaching ECE administration will find this an invaluable book for teaching others how to become effective leaders.</p> <p>--Linda S. Anderson, Adjunct Professor, Aurora University and Rasmussen College</p> <p>A much-needed book for anyone taking on the job of directing an early childhood program. With its comprehensive, detailed discussion of the many facets of this position, this resource will find a special place on all new directors' desks.</p> <p>--David Elkind, Professor Emeritus of Child Development, Tufts University <p>LeeKeenan and Ponte remind early childhood education leaders that we have the best job in the world! We are engineers, conductors, participants in play. We can ignite imaginations one minute, then wipe children's tears, reassure adults, and guide the growth of teachers in the next. The authors examine true-to-life program scenarios in concrete, intentional ways and provide tips and ideas that are helpful for all directors. As a 45-year veteran director, I recommend this book to any early childhood leader who seeks to thrive at this job.</p> <p>--Johanna Booth-Miner, Director and Owner, Live & Learn Early Learning Center</p><br>
