- Abstract
- Ann Hentschel, a past executive director of the Children’s Center of the Stanford Community (CCSC), speaks about her lengthy career in childcare, sharing memories of her time at the Bing Nursery School, CCSC, and the Stanford Arboretum Children’s Center. She explains why it’s difficult to advocate for higher pay for teachers, the importance of university support for childcare centers on college campuses, and the CCSC director’s role of communicating between the teachers and Board of Directors.
