Ms. Pennington has presented to teachers, administrators, and parents since 1997 in a wide range of settings and group sizes. In that time, she has over 300 hours of experience as a trainer and presenter. She has worked in full-time child care centers and part-time preschools and understands the unique needs of the different program structures.
