Leah Howes
Being the eldest of seven children, I always knew my life would revolve around children, whether my own or others. Our home has been licensed for foster care for over 18 years. I have been involved with The Ark in Tilton since opening day as a teacher, as the director, and now as a parent. With an Associates in Science of Early Childhood Education and an Associate in Science in Human Services, I understand the dynamics that come in to play when working with children. I am so excited about “All Our Kids” and the possibilities that so many more children can benefit from. Childhood is essential to the development of the whole person, and I can see that “All Our Kids” has the unique opportunity to facilitate so much more in experiences and environments. I truly feel honored to be a part of something so positive!
