“I can't say enough about Mrs. Althea Penn. She is the definition of a professional woman. I have utilized her consulting and training services for a number of years at two schools. She is very knowledgeable and well versed in the early childhood education industry standards and best practices. She has facilitated professional development workshops for my staff for a number of years; and still keeps their attention and keeps them engaged. She always arrives early and well prepared. With her level of professionalism and knowledge she can help any school reach their goals and take their level of care to the next level ultimately benefiting the children that they serve.”
