Mecca’s 30 years of experience in the field of early childhood education, the majority of which were in a senior leadership position with Primrose Franchising Company, have provided her an experienced, unique, and innovative perspective on leadership. She had been a teacher and a director before joining Primrose in 1999. With Primrose Schools she served as a consultant, in the role of a Franchise Owner, and retired early in 2018 as the Executive Director of Training and Development. As a consultant, Mecca coached owners to success in the areas of education, operations policies and procedures, marketing, culture, state licensing compliance, relationship building, administrative, HR issues and more. As the Executive Director of Training and Development, Mecca and her team were responsible for successfully developing, delivering, assessing, and evaluating the effectiveness of training for corporate team members, over 300 Franchise Owners, and approximately 15,000 directors, teachers, and staff. You will appreciate her knowledge and the artful and humorous way she relates to her audience.

“I believe we are created for relationship. I love people and find my greatest joy and fulfillment in helping the adults in a child’s world to self-direct, to hold themselves accountable, and to establish authentic relationships so they (we) can deliver the best early childhood education experience to the children entrusted to our care.”
