Judy: For nearly forty years I’ve worked with very young children teaching preschool for nearly thirty years. I co-own the Garden School with Edith St. Louis and my husband,Terry Lyden, a retired professor of history. We designed The Garden School to be an alternative to the kinds of childcare one finds in our city. We teach. We open the world of discovery to the very young child. We take a child from wherever he is as far as he can go. The school offers all the skills a child needs to be ready to sit in a classroom most of his day. Those skills are so wonderfully amusing, I've spent 17 years writing about them in hundreds of publications across the nation. I participate in my city's new Early Childhood Development Coalition, and I have a special interest in children's nutrition. I'm a special advocate for the high energy child and have written extensively about this badgered, misunderstood personality. I'm a graduate of the University of Evansville with graduate work at Indiana Wesleyan. I am married to Terry Lyden and we have four grown very successful children and six magnificent grandchildren. We live in Newburgh, Indiana - Best little town by a damsite!
