Abstract/Contents

Abstract: Lena Boot recalls how she first learned about a job opening at the Children’s Center of the Stanford Community (CCSC), the interview process, and why CCSC felt like an immediate fit for her. She shares memories of interactions with parents and coworkers and describes how CCSC aims to be a “democratic space for educators” where teachers learn from each other. Boot emphasizes the welcoming and family-like culture of CCSC, the feeling of “hominess” she experiences while teaching, and the strength of connection with those at the center.
