I am thrilled to be able to lead our youngest learners in Prosper ISD as the principal of Brenda Calhoun Early Childhood School. I have a passion for early childhood education because I know how crucial it is for students to begin their educational journey in a positive manner.

My passion for early childhood education was born the minute my twins let out their first cries. I began to realize how important it is for parents and schools to partner in their child’s education. I also realized how many intangible things are taught to our earliest learners that are crucial to their development.

I will have the responsibility of creating a positive trajectory for our students beginning at ages three and four, and I look forward to that challenge. The diverse needs of our earliest learners will create a learning environment where students will be able to learn from one another and accept other students’ differences. I envision the Brenda Calhoun Early Childhood School to be a place where students are experiencing their education. It will be a place where curiosity is in abundance, and students will have opportunities to pursue those curiosities. They will learn to communicate with one another, learn from their peers, and develop problem-solving skills.

The staff at Brenda Calhoun Early Childhood School will have a passion for young minds and facilitate their learning. During my 15 years in Prosper ISD, I have had the fortune of being a part of the educational journey of thousands of Prosper ISD students. I cannot wait to be a part of the first steps in the educational journey of our students at Calhoun Early Childhood School.

I am so excited about opening Brenda Calhoun Early Childhood School and I hope that each student who enters our doors will begin their educational career in a warm and welcoming environment that is centered around developing the foundation for each student to explore the world around them and to grow into an independent lifelong learner. It is important that each student grows to understand their value and what they are capable of. Calhoun Early Childhood staff will promote independence and foster a sense of belonging by creating a nurturing and inclusive environment for each of our learners. Understanding that many of our families are taking their first step in their child's education, partnering with families to ensure they feel supported and valued is essential. I am honored to be a part of this pivotal moment for the families of our earliest learners in Prosper ISD.
