What does early childhood education mean to you? If possible, could you share a personal story of why it’s important to you?

How warm and friendly and fun the group is and flexible on how one can get involved.
What does Women United mean to you?
Strong Committed Women for a Cause.
What would you say to a woman who is interested in becoming a member of Women United?
Give it a try; you can start out “light”.
