Bio
Jim Phillips
Notre Dame and The ELC are my graduate school stomping grounds. I was lucky to know and work with Adelia Lynka and Johnnie McGuire. I am so happy to see that this bastion of Early Childhood Education was also lucky - lucky to find and hire Stephanie Hall-Koester for the important Kindergarten position. Many will benefit from her unique, creative and fun-loving vision and talents. Stephanie is one of those special educators that have both the creative talent and the work ethic. It is exciting for me to see Stephanie grow, to gain experience working with children, families, and colleagues in the dynamic Bay Area Community and be in a position to make a difference in Early Childhood Education.
