Arleen joined WWHP’s Child Care Committee in its inception in 2014 and worked to obtain interviews of parents and professionals in Child Care and develop the script of the documentary, Taking a Closer Look at Child Care published by WWHP. Arleen, a graduate of Erikson Institute, taught child development at Harold Washington College for twenty-five years. Because there was no acceptable text for one of the Child Development courses in the City Colleges, she created Math, Science and Technology for Teaching Young Children which still reaches students today. In addition to her love of sailing, Arleen has abiding interests in current immigration issues, equal rights for all, and high quality child care for all families.
