About me
Kathy Gallo has worked in the Early Childhood Education field for nearly 40 years, including Head Start, private child care and family child care settings. Kathy has a Master’s degree in Early Childhood Education and teaches a variety of courses in ECE at both a community college and a university in Massachusetts. Kathy believes in a hands-on, engaging and dynamic approach to teaching and learning at all levels and has presented at many local, regional and national conferences. Kathy is at a stage in life where she isn't afraid to speak out about important issues that affect young children. Standards, assessments and high-stakes testing are now the spotlight of most schooling and they are being pushed down to younger and younger children. This is developmentally inappropriate, harmful and wrong. The Two Pushy Dames are ‘pushing back on the push down' and they hope that you will too!
