Porch Play Chat with Kathy Gallo & Leann Soucy Push Back on the Push Down 

Porch Play Chats are just one way IPA USA advocates for Play
Joining us on the Porch today are Kathy Gallo & Leann Soucy.
Two Pushy Dames (Kathy Gallo and LeeAnn Soucy) are ECE professionals with over 30 years of experience in the field of ECE in various capacities. Currently, we both work and teach at a community college and a state university in Massachusetts. We firmly believe in 'pushing back on the academic push down' that has become so prevalent in the US early education structure. We have a website (twopushydames.com), a podcast and an active social media presence. We have presented locally and nationally (NAEYC PLI, NAEYC annual and NAFCC annual conferences) and have received outstanding responses.
Lisa Murphy and Deb Lawrence co-host Porch Play Chats. To learn more about IPA USA, please visit our website at IPAUSA.org and join us in advocating for the chidl's right to play.
