Children's Learning Center Welcomes New Director

The Children’s Learning Center at Mitchell College recently welcomed Linda Hunter-Williams [MEd '05] as its new director. In this role, she oversees the operations of the center and leads the staff in providing a nurturing and safe educational environment for its preschool program. Experienced as a classroom teacher, early learning program director and community college instructor, Hunter-Williams holds a Master of Education from Cambridge College.

"Growing up in Louisiana, I was surrounded by an amazing village of concerned, caring and supportive teachers, which is why I became an educator, explained Hunter-Williams. "I believe all children should receive a quality early learning experience. Parents and teachers together play an important role in the education of children, which includes meeting the needs of individual children. I look forward to creating a link between home and school, ensuring that family members are actively involved in their child’s early educational experience."

Dr. Elizabeth Beaulieu, Mitchell College vice president for academic affairs, which oversees the Children’s Learning Center, said, “We are thrilled to welcome Linda to Mitchell College.
