Prerna Richards is the founder and CEO of Together We Grow, an early childhood organization providing professional development, coaching and consulting for parents, teachers and administrators. She’s a coach and early childhood educational consultant.
Her desire to make a difference in the lives of children has shaped her life and her career. When she came to the United States, she had a degree in interior design. But when her daughter started preschool, she became a teacher and realized this was her passion and her calling in life.
Since then, one of her focuses is helping educators understand the importance of brain development in children and how to nurture positive growth. Our brains are almost entirely wired by the time we turn 5, and during those years, the foundation is laid for our entire lives.
In this podcast, Prerna talks about her life and her work with children, including the effect of stress, particularly stress caused by the pandemic.
