In celebration of W03, a grassroots effort to promote, partner and support female owned businesses, I am delighted to interview Ann McKitrick. She is an incredible female-owned business who has started 3 businesses! Nurtured Noggins offers fabulous online classes for expectant parents: BirthSchool and QuickStart Guide for Parents . Ann also has a new Podcast called Parenting In The First Three Years . Lastly, Ann is the creator of TexasChildcareTraining.

Ann has always been drawn to children. She has been immersed in the field of early childhood education for 30+ years. She has worn the hats of infant teacher, University Program Director, College Professor, Children’s Pastor, Teacher Trainer, Parent Coach, Conference Speaker and Autism Consultant over the years. She loves to study children as they talk, play and interact and then look to child development theory to explain their unique take on the world, and why they do what they do. Helping others understand this magic of children is what makes Ann tick!

Ann is a Mom to three awesome young adults, Mimi to 3 grand babies, former foster parent to infants in crisis and an advocate for children everywhere. She is committed to helping new parents navigate the first years.

Ann offers 1-1 parent coaching (for grandparents too), group coaching, and parenting courses, as well weekly podcast for first-time parents.
