Howard, EdD has been working with young children in the field of early childhood education for the past twenty-one years and is still loving it! "Children carry a certain energy with them, a pureness that is unexplainable. One can say that we can take them many places, on a journey with an open mind, free from judgment, free from doubt, full of laughter, and full of life." Dr. Howard promotes heavy language and literacy development. She loves teaching children about the voice they house inside of them and the importance of expressing it! Known for her passion in teaching, training, consulting, and leading, her dissertation entitled "Improving Literacy Skills in Preschool Children Using the Montessori Language Approach" confirms her drive toward fostering language skills in young children. Born to retired Air Force Military parents, Dr. Howard has lived in a variety of places, including living abroad. She is an author, Montessori teacher, professor, program director, motivational speaker, and consultant. A former Commission member of the Education Practices Commission for the Florida Department of Education, Dr. Howard is currently a member of the American Montessori Society (AMS) and the National Education Association (NEA) educational organizations. She has been publishing children's books under the children's direction since 2005. In her spare time, Dr. Howard enjoys water sports, swimming with the dolphins, working with the hearing impaired, and teaching spinning fitness classes!
