Introducing Our New
Director
My name is Alicia Allard and I am excited to be joining the NWIC Early Learning Center as the new Director. We will continue to provide high-­‐quality childcare and family support for students and staff of Northwest Indian College and Lummi Nation. I have been working with Lummi Early Learning programs since 2009 as a Teacher at Lummi Head Start, and Parent Educator at the Teen Parent Child Development Center. Prior to my career in early childhood education I worked as a Community Health Educator at the Mother Baby Center. I am passionate about providing high-­‐
quality tribal early learning services and empowering families to be their child’s first teacher. I hold a BA in Human Services from WWU, and will graduate in August 2014 with a Master’s in Early Childhood: Administration, Management & Leadership from Walden University. I also hold an Infant & Toddler Child Development Associate (CDA). Please feel free to contact me with any questions, concerns or ideas. Hy’shqe, Alicia Allard
