August 2024 | Early Childhood

Hi there, I’m Danielle Sentz!

Danielle and her dog, Ziggy.

 If you’ve found yourself reading this article, you are in the right place for useful resources on supporting our young children in any educational environment. As the newest member of our Early Childhood Education Specialist Trio at ODU’s Training and Technical Assistance Center, I am excited to start making these meaningful connections. Coming from the field of Early Childhood Special Education (ECSE) myself, I had no idea how many resources TTAC provides, and it’s all so easy to access! My hope is that I can bring my field experience to your classroom (or any environment!) by connecting you to resources that are worth your time.

What I Strive to Accomplish at TTAC ODU

  1. Spread awareness for the importance of Early Childhood Education in ANY environment.
  2. Promote inclusive practices by empowering practitioners to stand up for what they believe in. 
  3. Connect practitioners with meaningful resources that are worth your time. 
  4. Assist with interpreting the amazing work out there and how it can be applied to working with all young children.
