Pat Frouws, SFU Childcare Society’s Executive Director, was being recognized as an Exceptional Master Leader by the international magazine Childcare Exchange.  We are extremely proud of this accomplishment.

The Exchange Leadership Initiative was launched in November 2014 with the intention to explore strategies for making leadership more visible in the field of Early Care and Education; to enhance understanding of the qualities, training, and skills sets that underlie leadership; and to address responsibilities for supporting and developing leaders.

Childcare Exchange has stated that it intends to search and support leadership in ECE with these identified Master Leaders who will be invaluable resources for the development of ideas and initiatives into the future. More information on the Exchange Leadership Initiative may be found here: http://www.childcareexchange.com/leadership/

Recognition of Pat as an Exceptional Master Leader speaks to her leadership, knowledge and experience but also serves to highlight the accomplishments of the educators and staff of the SFU Childcare Society for “Leading excellence in Early Care and Learning in a sustainable way."
