About Lora

I grew up the fifth of six children on a farm in central Indiana. After graduating from high school, I attended Purdue University where I received a B. S. In Psychology with a minor in mathematics. I volunteered and cared for young children in a variety of early childhood settings, beginning in high school. I continued my education at Purdue receiving an M. S. in Child Development and Family Studies with an emphasis in Early Childhood Education. I have a Masters of Library Science from Southern Connecticut State University. I met my husband and we began our family while I was completing my studies at Purdue. We moved to Connecticut where I continued to work in the field of early education for many years, continuing this work later as a Library Media Specialist in public schools in Connecticut.
